Quick and dirty (but extremely effective) longwire antenna
#2

Too bad my landline connections are still live.

One thing to add about coax lead in- if it is connected from ANT to GND, the coax capacitance will be in parallel with the input tuning circuits and drastically reduce reception (been there, done that). However, is you use a simple ferrite ring transformer of perhaps 5- 10 turns wound bifilar, and connect that to the balanced input, the reception is outstanding! -Pete
