I recently dug out the Panasonic RF-2200 and RF-3100 I boxed up in the early 1990s and had them cleaned and restored. As noted on other threads much as changed in the world of shortwave since I put the radios away and I'm going through the threads in order to play catch-up.
One thing that has changed for me personally is that I moved from western Canada to New York City. Now I live in a brownstone where space is an issue and don't have an option of stringing out a long wire like I used to. I also suspect that static is far more of an issue here than suburban Calgary.
Would anyone have advice on what kind of aerial would work best in a cramped space? Are active antennae ever a good option, or should I make due with stringing a wire around the baseboards or even out the window?
(Are will still near solar minimum?)
Many thanks in advance for feedback.
