I hacked out a decent shortwave antenna for my AOR 8200 MK3:
I connect a normal telescoping antenna to the BNC port and twist one end of a 20 Gauge copper wire near the top. I run the wire outside my window and twist the other end around my fire escape railing.
If lightning were to hit the railing or the wire directly, could this damage or permanently break the radio? If I were touching the radio during the strike, could I get injured?
