Does anyone know of a low cost inside or outside receive antenna that can pickup everything shortwave? Like a all around antenna?
This is far and away much too broad a question to properly answer. What radio(s) are you looking to use? What is your situation - can you put something outside (always preferable) and away from your home? Do you have condo Nazis like so many of us do? How much room do you have available?
There are a great many broadbanded designs out there; it's important to pick the one most suitable for your situation...Mike
Good! Half the fun in this thing is actually experimenting with the antenna system to find what works in your particular environment. This includes RFI challenges too. Me, I live in RFI hell. Literally. But I made my two HF antennas work in my favor....by experimentingThanks for all the info! I might try building my own long wire for the heck of it.
Yes, you should try building your own. Read, compare and then build.Thanks for all the info! I might try building my own long wire for the heck of it.
