Hi everyone, hope everyone is doing fine during this holiday season. I am here because I am trying to decide what type of antenna I need for shortwave. I am running one of those rtl sdr receivers and I am wanting to run a antenna for outside. I have room to put wire up in a tree. I have thought about a broomstick, longwire, random or end fed. I would like to be able to feed it with rg8x coax so it's going to have to have a so-239 connector. Anyone have any ideas of what to use? If I build a broomstick I already have a 10 foot pvc pipe that I can use and a mast it can be mounted on. Any help I would appreciate it!
