I've hooked up 100ft of speaker wire antenna to my old Grundig to get my feet wet in the hobby. I am starting to look at more modern (at least newer than my Grundig) shortwave receivers. I'd like something with SSB and a larger frequency range. Anyway, I've heard that a longer antenna might 'overload' portable receivers.
What does that mean exactly? I'm picturing some sort of cartoonish explosion of the radio. Is it just something internal on the radio that pops?
