All I use for a antenna is a copper long wire stapled to the ceiling in my attic roof the whole length of the house. I have used it for over 20 years. My radios work well with it and I pick up stations all over the place. Granted you were able to pick up a lot more radio stations from around the world 10 years ago, a lot of countries are off the air now. But it works great where I am and I do not have to worry about it being outside and having to fix it when it needs repairs because of the elements.
