Hello:
Do general sw listening from the broadcast band up to 30 MHz. No transmitting. Presently have a single long wire (guess it's technically called a random length wire) running around the 4 sides of my attic, and then down to receiver. Works "fairly" well, but can't help feeling I might do better. Was wondering if there is anything "better" that would easily fit in an attic and still have pretty broad coverage (would settle for 0..5 - 20 MHz) that I might consider ? Thanks, Bob |

Bob,
You might try completing the partial 'loop' that you have now. Probably no large difference in performance but who knows? If there is any particular band of frequencies you listen to you might try an antenna resonant for that. Probably the one thing that will make the most difference is a change to vertical polarization, a vertical of some kind. There are a lot of "ought to"s and "shoulds" but experimenting is one good way to find out... 'Doc |
