Hello everyone
I have been listening to shortwave for about 6 months now, and I love it. I had the Grundig G8, the upgraded to the Grundig 750. I am having trouble hooking up the wire antenna. I don't have a cold water pipe I can connect too or a radiator. I live in a the suburbs/rural area. (There are a couple on neighborhoods around me and 2 schools. I live on 4 acres with tree everywhere.
When I connect the wire to the grundig on the live (red) side I usally just lay the ground wire on the ground, but this not help with getting better signals. The live wire is about 30 feet by a window and the ground is about 30 feet. Do I just need a longer wire? I have done searching online and have not found much. If there is a good link please post.
Thanks
