Hi guys,
This is my first post. I have a degen 1103 shortwave radio. It's been a great radio so far and I can pick up AM stations from far away locations. My query is what sort of antenna would I need to pick up shortwave stations not aimed at us here in Australia. Like say aimed at asia and other locations. When I go outside I can pick up more stations with the radios whip antenna. I would like too put up an outdoor antenna but it is not possible as it is a two-storey house and also the fact that their is only a courtyard of about 10 metres and no trees. China radio international comes in clear as a bell at night. So just wondering do you guys recommend a particular indoor antenna that will act as good as an outdoor or going down the path of an outside antenna be worthwhile? An indoor antenna would be easier too set up as their is no real way too get the coax into the house too the radio. Also I just want too pick up the BBC and other stations.
Sorry I'm a bit of a newbie.
Thanks in advance
