Hi there - ive got a Sony ICF-7600GR shortwave radio and was looking at
a way to improve my reception (pick up more comms and stuff) - i was
wondering if a longwire antenna made from Phono wire would do the job -
and then just clip the phono onto the antenna with a crock clip ;-)

Any ideas?

Cheers

Many people have improved there reception somewhat doing exactly what
you describe. The type of wire is not that important, but thin and
flexible is easirr to work with. Many say that wrapping several turns
of the wire around the antenna works better than clipping it on, others
disagree with that. Experiemnt. Try a length of wire about 21' long
for starters.
