Thanks for the info;

For short Wave, I have several home made random wire antennas made of
" Rat Shack" stranded wire;

alligator clipped on both ends..

the 30 footer is quite good;

I guess I could actually just use a slinky . .

.

Last weekend, I was Way out in " The Woods" at a hiking camp.

in an environment like that, with No interference; you can pick up all
kinds of signals on a 10 foot random wire

Found some French sounding station playing folk songs;

& fell asleep

Nice Hobby . .
