The boomboxes and oId cordless telephones your neighbors throw in the
trash are an excellent source of replacement antennas.


Not for an SW radio, they have long ones with several segments, especially
if you wisht to keep it stock.

Then a CB walkie talkie whip would be closer. I haven't a clue if
they are suitable, but they are longer, and wider in diameter to
support the longer length.
