An external antenna is essential. I never did get around to stringing an outdoor longwire antenna, but after I eliminated my landline phone in favor of a Verizon cell nearly two years ago, I was left with the next best thing...the (deactivated) phone line. Using a small capacitor in series with the old phone line, it has proven to be a very good longwire.
