LOWE HF-125

[Sun Worshipper]

I posted ages ago that I had unearthed my old SW set in the loft and was looking for aerial suggestions.

I can't find the post so was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for an indoor/desktop aerial that will give me good general coverage and allow me to listen to HF airband on the North Atlantic/worldwide?

Big ask I know but any suggestions welcome.  It may be that I would need two totally different twigs.  years ago I ran bell wire round the loft but Mrs Sunny wouldn't be too happy this time round.

Anyway, thanks.

I haven't used it myself but Nevada radio sells an active HF antenna which is just 18" long.

The same thing, direct from the manufacturer - price includes p&p

I used to own a HF-125 - a lovely receiver which I regret selling.

I owned an HF-125. Then I got an ICOM IC-PCR100 for a knockdown price. Fantastic receiver.

My first receiver was an ex-USAF BC-348. Then an Eddystone 840C, the HF-125 and currently a Kenwood TS-2000 and a Yaesu FT-817.
