Hi there,

I want to install a long wire antenna to my Sony ICF-SW7600GR, so I'm
wondering whether it will significantly improve reception of already
available broadcasts as well as getting new, farther, emissions.

How that long wire antenna should be made? I mean length, kind of wire,
....

I'm quite naive in the shortwave listening world, thus any kind of help
would be very appreciated!


for your first attempt at an antenna a kit would probably be best.

something like this may be what you want

the ARRL antenna handbook is one of the best and most respected sources on
how to build antennas.
