Philco 40-180 Test Antenna
#1

What can I use for a test antenna on the 40-180. The owner shipped the chassis and speaker, but I didn't want to ask for the bulky antenna also. Notice that inductance is needed, not a long wire.

Thank you,

Do you have an AA5 or such radio that has an antenna on the back cover?

I built one on a small cardboard box, thank you.
