   SONY ICF-SW7600GR Antenna

   I have two SW7600GR radios among others such as a few FRS radios, a SDR, a CB,   
   and a VHF/UHF handy talky. I am re-learning my SONY and came across a number   
   of interesting posts on an external antenna.   
      
   I'd like to cut a short diplole for use indoors however I am uncertain how to   
   make a dipole and connect it to the Sony.   
      
   One individual suggested a mag loop.   
      
   As I am running off battery and do not have a hard ground I had thought of   
   connecting to the ground wire in the electricl receptor near by.  I've   
   installed ferrite traps on all my switching power supplies so I hope this   
   reduces the noise ...   
      
   Any suggestions for cutting a dipole and connecting to the Sony would be   
   helpful as would suggestions for a magloop.
