Well, I think you'll be quite pleased with the 'SW7600G. It's a very
nice set, and I've had some great times with it when traveling about.
As GYT had mentioned, the Sony AN-LP1 antenna is a nice match for the
'SW7600G. Sony provided a wind-up passive wire antenna with the
'SW7600G. If that wasn't included when you bought, Sangean makes a
similar product. A simple wind-up passive antenna of this kind can
yield some pleasing results, if you're not ready to plunge for a
pricier antenna at the moment:

Well thank you all for your help!
I found a used sw7600g for 57 and I went with that I didn't find any bad
reviews of it and as a starting out rig I think it should work well
anyone have any recommendations for good swl websites?
