Default Antenna to cover AM broadcast to 999 mhz?

What would be the best combination to cover that frequency range in
receive only? Would a 100 feet dipole with a discone cover it? Any
other suggestions? Thanks.
Mike.

A 100 foot dipole will work great on the broadcast band, and for receiving,
will be usable up to around 30 MHz. You will need at least 1 other antenna.
A 20 - 1000 MHz discone won't work very well, compared to a beam cut for a
particular frequency, but is probably the simplest way to go.
