<p>I've used a Sony AN-71 HF antenna, which is basically a length of wire on a reel, making it extremely portable. It's designed to clip onto the thinnest section of a telescopic antenna and then be pulled out to a suitable length. An adapter can be made for the antenna clip to fit onto, by soldering the centre pin of a crimp style BNC plug to one end of a ~40mm length of M3 studding, then crimping the crimp ferrule onto the plug body followed by pushing the centre pin and screw assembly into the plug and allowing some two part epoxy to flow into the gap to hold the threaded part in place and to make sure it is insulated from the body of the plug. The antenna clip fits nicely over the threaded studding and it works a treat, but relies on the user's body
to act as a counterpoise; signal levels drop markedly when the radio is put down. Attaching another bit of wire with a croc clip to the BNC plug body to act as a counterpoise will help in this case. If the radio shows signs of the input being overloaded, the antenna can be wound back in until the overloading goes away. <br><br>The Miracle Whip is a good antenna for shortwave listening. The matching control allows the antenna to effectively be tuned to maximise the signals of interest. An SO239 to BNC adapter can be used to connect the antenna to the radio, and the AN-71 antenna can be attached to the end of the Miracle Whip telescopic antenna. The black finish on the Miracle Whip is electrically conducting, so there's no need to scratch it off to get ele
ctrical contact.</p>
