I recently picked up my first ham radio, a Hammarlund 110. I hooked up a 75
foot loop antenna in my attic. It works fine but I want to increase my
reception.

My question is, what type anntenna should I use to maximize reception on all
bands for this system? Would a linear antenna work better? How long should
it be?

Thank you for any help you can give me.

Also,
RHL or someone like that will be on here and he has a group about
antennas and he knows his stuff.

Any straight length of wire 25 to 75 feet oriented north-south ought to work
well. If you are using the attic, you can stretch several lengths of wire of
the same length and connect them end to end to make one longer length. That
should help increase the number of signals you receiver.
