Re: Shortwave Antenna

The shortwave radio I have is a Sony 7600GR. I appriciate the replies.
So, I'm thinking of stringing 50feet, from my window to a tree.
Now, would I need a ground too? There are many articles but no one has said
what works. I picked up an antenna book from the library and it talks about
cutting 4-5 different lengths to pick up different bands. I just wanted to do
the long wire in hopes of getting better reception. I could use the jack in the
radio but I'm worried about harming it compared to just hooking to the whip.
Perhaps it is all just 'trial and error' but no more knowlege before hand the
better. 
Thanks,
Chris
