Hi I use a slinky antenna home made but like the antennas sold on
ebay. Its hanging on a hook on my shop door. I do not think I have
$5 invested. A pece of wire a push on connector to fit the slinky
and some pvc pipe to insulate the ends.

I'm new to the group and I'm just wondering what kinds of
antennas (length, electrical arrangement) people have used
with a Hallicrafters radio such as the S38 type (or similar).
Has anyone used a loop antenna with a model such as the S38?
A previous owner an S38 radio suggested an untuned long wire
antenna,
but a 40 ft length of wire seemed to cause a lot of overloading
on mine.
Also, AM is quite noisy (probably local noise) below 800 kHz with
a long wire.
I'm interested in details like lengths and / or electrical
arrangements (dipole,sloper, etc.) that have been used.
I'd welcome hearing anyone's shortwave and AM listening
experiences
with a S38 model.
Thanks
