Hello everyone, I have always been interested in radio, especially shortwave, I think it started when I found a Zenith Trans Oceanic in the trash and fixed it up, anyway, I now have a Sony ICF7600GR which I really enjoy, but now I am looking to upgrade, the first thing I want to do is install a outdoor antenna, I have read alot of info on the net, but I am still confused with all the choices out there- longwire, dipole, sloper, inverted vee among others, one guy even told me just to run a wire to the chain link fence in my yard, I have about an acre to play with, I can't erect a tower but I have some room to play with, I don't need coverage for a specific band, I just want the best overall coverage, I will also be upgrading the Sony, but thats for another forum another day! Thanks for the help.
