Consider a loop antenna from Mini Kits in Australia.
They are low noise, reasonable in cost and work well. Some soldering required.
Good luck

Hello I am looking for some help or advice, I have two Yaesu Musen FRG-7 recievers that seem to work equally good . I have an attic antenna ,it goes 22 feet along the beams and then 6 feet across the back of the house and then back along the beams on the other side of the peek for another 22 feet , it is bare copper antenna wire and then goes to my receiver in the basement with a single plastic coated lead wire , this lead in wire runs down from the attic and thru the closet floor into the crawl space and this run is about 35 feet , I also have 24 feet of slinky stretched out on the inside attic peak and can join this with the single antenna wire below the attic in the closet or use them separately, I did buy and try a MFJ 1020 C indoor active antenna , I sent it back it did nothing for me . My shortwave pick up is there but not that good and at times there is not much at all , I think these FRG-7 sets are good for shortwave receiving but I am thinking the antenna is the problem , I can¡¯t run an antenna outside the house I have to have it inside and I think the attic is best , is there any advice you can give that will help me out , perhaps a different antenna I could buy or make myself , I would be very thankful for any help or advice , thanks for your time all the very best Rick
