    All I did was run an insulated wire that ran from the radio via the external
    antennae jack to the chainplate inside the boat where it is wound around a
    nut. Not fancy but it works fine. Antennae length does not seem critical
    if you are just receiving, the longer the better I think.

    Regards
    Andrew

    I have installed a SW receiver that I would like to be able to get weather
    fax and other SW weather information as well as VOA and BBC news. How do I
    make a antenna that I can run up on a spare halyard when I wish to listen
    and be coiled up and stored below when not being used?
