jim:
l have a grundig 750 with about 100' of wire for my antenna,going along my roof what do I need to help my reception. Antenna tuner? Plz help or any other ideas for a good antenna most of my listening is 6800-7000khz 73 Jim(kd8hfy)

ChrisSmolinski:
If your listening is concentrated in just that one band, you may wish to consider a dedicated antena, such as a dipole. Running it away from the house (such as between two trees) and feeding with coax and a balun should reduce pickup of local noise sources from inside the house. A folded dipole (made with 300 ohm twin lead) may offer even lower local QRM pickup, but you'll want to use a 4:1 balun in that case.
