Question:
I have a sangean short wave radio and need a good antenna or homemade antenna for it?
i am trying to receive 9740 from england and can't because of something. i can not figure it out yet. i have a homemade antenna on my roof but still can not receive reception for this channel. it has a 1/8 jack instead of coax connector for external antenna so it needs to be jack connector(like the headphone jack) not a coax or cable connector
Answers:
Just a long wire antenna will do quite nicely. You can get a 1/8" plug with a wire attached at Radio shack. Hook the long wire antenna to the center wire (do not touch the ground side or you will kill the signal) and toss the wire out the window or hang it around you room.
Any wire 25 to 50 feet long should work OK for your needs
