World radio - antenna in L Shape , does it work ?

I bought Roxy RXY 330 , 10 Band digital world radio for 8 dollars.

My room have L Shaped balcony which is totally 8+14 meters long and I am thinking to BEND 21.5 meters long antenna enamelled wire in to 8+13.5 meters.

Does it work ?

Yes.

I don't know the Roxy radio nor your environment--location, urban, country, near broadcast transmitters--but a 22m long wire may overload the receiver front end. If you find spurious or strange audio products in unexpected places on the dial, use a shorter wire. I would start with a 6m long wire. HTH.

I've been running an endfed 100' wire in a horizontal "L" configuration for years now. It works great. But I would take W2XQ's advice given the highly sensitive nature of your portable. Experiment with your antenna-to-environment starting with a shorter wire antenna and working up from that.
