I would suggest using a small capacitor, around .001 uF will do, between the antenna terminal of the radio and the actual longwire antenna. This will keep any voltage from your AC-DC Hallicrafters off the longwire without reducing the sensitivity of the input. As Terry (Radioroslyn) has mentioned, it is not a good idea to use the same longwire on more than one radio simultaneously.
