Hello
I have this radio and was curious what other owners find to be the best
antenna to pair it with.

Bug Runner,

For 'portable radio like the Sony ICF-SW7600GR, consider the
"Portable Wire Antenna" (PWA) that was created and written about
by Tom Sevart [N2UHC].

Portable Wire Antenna "PWA" for the Sony ICF-2010. To 'quote'
Tom Sevant "This is an antenna I put together after having
problems with overload on my Sony 2010 portable shortwave receiver"
GoTo= http://www.geocities.com/n2uhc/portablewire.html

FWIW: Basically, the PWA is a a short to medium length
"Random Wire Antenna" that is 'couple' via the 'portable'
Radio's Whip Antenna for improved reception.

HOW-TO-USE-IT - Place the "Coupling Coil":

#1. Vertically [Over] the 'portable' Radio's "Partially Collapsed"
Whip Antenna for Improved Shortwave (SW) Radio Reception.
- Vary the "Length/Stub" of the Whip Antenna to 'adjust' the
amount of effective coupling and Signal Transfer.

#2. Vertically [Over] the 'portable' radio's "Fully Extended"
Whip Antenna for Improved FM Radio Reception.

#3. Horizontally [Near] the 'portable' radio's AM/MW Ferrite Rod
Antenna for Improved AM/MW and Longwave Radio Reception.
- Adjust the 'position' of the Coupling Coil to vary the amount
of effective coupling and Signal Transfer.

The webpage written by by Tom Sevart [N2UHC] describes the
construction and set-up of the PWA [Portable Wire Antenna].
