Hi. I've been listening to police and fire scanner traffic for years, but I've recently been bit by the shortwave radio bug. I have a penchant for vintage equipment, so I bought a Realistic DX-200 on ebay. I'm writing to ask advice about getting the best antenna for my radio. I realize that what I want to listen to and several other factors will heavily influence the choice of antenna. I'm mostly interested in utility stations from around the world, if that helps. My budget is a few hundred bucks, I'm a solid DIYer, and I live in southern California. Can someone make a suggestion for a premium outdoor antenna? Thanks.
