20-30 feet of wire, should be copper wire, speaker wire will do. Hook it
up to the "whip antenna", that is, the metal retracting rod antenna that
extends out from the top of the radio. It would be best to hook it up to
the end of the antenna where the little knob is. Overload is when a
signal is too strong for your radio's circuits and creates false signals
or "images" all over the dial. Since you're in Australia, overload
should not be too much of a problem, is what Dan is saying. From your
other posts, it sounds like you live at the base of a hill on the beach,
your house pointing southeast. This is not a good situation to receive
signals on a small portable radio just using the built in antenna (the
"whip"). That's why you need to hook up 30 feet (about 10 meters, I
think) of copper wire to the end of the whip antenna and run the wire
outside your house and hook the other end of the wire to a tree or a
wood fence or anything that's not metal. Do you understand a little bit
better?
