Receiving antennas are easy: A piece of wire as long as you can afford, up as high as you can get it. Back in the early 1960s I bought a secondhand Hallicrafters SX-99. All I used for listening was a piece of wire running diagonally across the ceiling of my bedroom/shack. This was back when Radio Moscow, HCJB, The Voice of the Andes (Ecuador), Radio Japan and many other DX broadcast stations were on the air daily. For general listening, you should do fine with something like that, but I would put a good portion of the antenna outside, and again, up high.
