Hello
I guess I am a all new 71 yr old.
Anyway, my family gifted me a Tecsun s2200x for my birthday.
Years back, I used to have an old Radio Shack brand SW reciever and a Grundig Yachtboy 400.
Ive read the Tecsen manual, and also got a couple of Tecsen antennas with the radio. A An-48x and An 200.
Been playing around with both with limited success probably due to inexperience. It has been fun.
I could probably do well with an outdoor antenna. I live in the country in a 100 yr old farm house so I have a little room. Looking at the MLA 30 and/or some kind of outside wire like a end fed random length. (See, I do read and watch videos )
Any suggestions on what direction I should take?
Lots of questions about antennas for SWL. There is so much info about ham transceiver antennas I get confused.
Obviously, I will not be transmitting.
Grounds? Baluns and Ununs, cables and connections to my radio...on and on.
Without going crazy and on a retirement budget, where to start.
Thanks
Bill
