Hi. This is my first post. l got a Tecsun AM/FM/SW radio last week. lf l listen in the apartment with the telescoping antenna, about all l hear is static and noise. lf l go outside, it's MUCH better. l want to make a longwire antenna with a piece of 18 AWG 40' wire l have. The plan is to be in my car with the wire going out the window with the other end supported by a tree. ls there any difference in plugging the wire into the radio's 1/8" jack with a 1/8 plug and clipping it to the built in antenna with an alligator clip? And if l use a 1/8 mono plug, do l connect the wire to the tip conductor of the plug? Thanks.
