This antenna looks like it would meet my needs - could someone here check
it
out and tell this novice if it would work as a simple indoor antenna?

For $8.99, and no shipping charges, it seems very reasonable. Also, he
says
that he will supply it with either an alligator clip or a 1/8" plug.
Which is
the better choice for SW and for MW?

Thanks,

I would say to buy one. It's only 9 dollars. I bought a similar item in
Canada which was called a hamantenna. It was twenty feet with an
alligatorclip. I was so impressed I bought a second one. I did a quck test
indoors of WBCQ on 7415 with this antenna and a roll up antenna in the same
location. Using a Grundig 800, the roll up was S9 and the hamantenna was S9
+20. It would probably cost more to buy a roll up one. I live in a highrise
on the 19th floor. By the way I,m not the seller of this item.
