Run some wire around the perimeter of the window held in place with
small suction cup hooks. The length isn't critical, but as DxAce said too much antenna and you will flood the receiver with signals. A wire antenna isn't particularly selective, and it will pick up all signals more or less equally. So Radio Havana will come in nice and strong, but so will static crashes and hash from a nearby computer or tv. Modern portable receivers are quite sensitive and they pick up a lot with just the built-in whip antenna. Unless you are inside a steel frame building that radio should hear lots of shortwave broadcasts and ham stations with just the whip. |
