I have two Sony AN-LP1 antennas,

antenna/preselector (all for SW), and
a Select-A-Tenna and a Justice AM
Antenna (for MW) so I have quite a
bit of experience with indoor/travel
antennas. I presume you want a travel
antenna for SW. The very best (by far)
for travel that I have found is the AOR
WL500 Active Window Loop
antenna. (snip)


Well, if I want an good antenna, it looks like I'll have to consider those
in the $200 price range. The AOR WL500 is the second antenna mentioned in
that price range. By the way, I noticed you have an MFJ-1020B. Have you
tried a simple long-wire antenna (in other words, a straight piece of wire)
with it? If so, how does that stack up to the other options you listed? The
1020C is available now and I have considered it as a possible solution.
