What is the best indoor SWL antenna I can get?

I don't really know which is the best indoor antenna. *The Sony ANLP1
sells for around $100.00 and has been used successfully by several
SWL's. *But if the best is what you have in mind there is a german
company that makes one for several hundred dollars.

I've had very good results with a window antenna. *It's A simple wire
around the inner perimeter of a large window held in place with cup
holder suction cups. *Another inexpensive and good performing antenna
is to run wire around the baseboards of your listening room. *Just
tuck it behind the carpet.
