I have a long wire antenna that I can hook on my whip antenna and was
wondering if that would do.
Thanks



You might hear some unusual medium wave (MW) DX on a ship, as MW
signals propogate far over water. But then again, all the appliances
and machinery on a ship may generate so much electronic hash at MW
frequencies that reception will be awful, I dunno.
