I'm reviving this topic in the hope for more answers. 
Which antennas do you all like to use to receive both AM and Shortwave signals? Which are most effective? How do you have yours set up?
I've read things about different lengths of wire being used for different bands. I do not have the luxury of running an outdoor wire, but I DO have a large 3rd-level attic.
I am absolutely lost when it comes to antennas. All I know is that my Philco 37-116x was originally supposed to use a Philco High Efficiency Aerial, which, of course, is no longer available. What is a good substitute so that I can still receive all 5 bands clearly?
