Default Long wire to SO-239 50 ohm?

Anything special needed to make this thing besides the wire and SO-239?

I might want to transmit through this some day using a random wire tuner
but for now it will be used for SWL.

If you want it to work at its best, you'll get/make a matching
transformer, 10:1 ratio, and insert it between them, and most of the
time providing a good ground to the appropriate lug of the transformer.
Run an appropriate length of coax cable between the transformer and
your radio. A Google search will bring up about a million posts on
this topic, and several websites that show you how. They are sold on
EBay and elsewhere. Don't fear - it is quite simple and quite
inexpensive.

For transmit, you may want to use low power - I would not run 1,000
watts through this set up.
