I  even used a simple <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>wire<\/strong> antenna once just for my old AM <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>radio<\/strong> so I could get a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>radio<\/strong> station while camped in the mountains that I wanted to listen to.  Ran out the wire, then had to move it around a bit to find the optimum direction but it worked like a charm.  &#8211; WD0AJG <\/p>\n<p>When dealing with <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>emergency<\/strong> communications there is <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> simple item that you really must have and that is a good communications antenna. Many survivalists have asked if there is such a thing as a simple antenna made specifically for shortwave listening. The main concern here is one, which could be transported in a backpack and rigged up in only a couple of minutes. The basic principle here is the option of stringing it up quickly between several trees.<\/p>\n<p>In general, there are usually instructions enclosed with <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>radio<\/strong> receivers, which cover these details, however sometimes the manufacturer fails to include them in the operator&#8217;s manual or you may have purchased the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>receiver<\/strong> used and not obtained the operators manual with it or even worse you may have constructed your own <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>radio<\/strong> <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>receiver<\/strong> from scratch. Either way you have no way to know how to setup an antenna. The short answer to this question is that you can do it either as simply or as complicated as you would like. Several questions that you may initially have to ask yourself are does the unit have an external antenna input or merely a telescopic antenna. Can you locate a suitable <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>ground<\/strong> <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>connection<\/strong> on the back of the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>radio<\/strong> receiver? This <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>connection<\/strong> is generally located near the external antenna terminals should it be there.<\/p>\n<p>A quick solution to create an antenna that will work fairly well is to run approximately 50 to 100 feet of number 22 through number 30 gauge insulated hook up <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>wire<\/strong> out into the woods. You may possibly suspend it above <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>ground<\/strong> by means of monofilament fishing line. To complete the installation simply tie the far end to the monofilament line, then run it 50 foot away and place a weight on the end and finally toss it over a nearby convenient tree. Next, proceed to pull the monofilament line until the antenna <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>wire<\/strong> is elevated and tight, and then tie it off securely.<\/p>\n<p>Another trick you can try should you be located on a ridge and you are unable to drive a proper <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>ground<\/strong> rod into the soil, is to duplicate the 50 to 100 feet of antenna wire, however this time connect it to the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>ground<\/strong> <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>connection<\/strong>. Run these wires in opposite directions with the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>radio<\/strong> <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>receiver<\/strong> located at the mid-point of the wires. This is an effective method if setup properly. If you wanted to get really fancy you could progress from these simple antenna versions to <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> a bit more complicated and having its own antenna tuner or matcher, but to setup and <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>use<\/strong> a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>radio<\/strong> <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>receiver<\/strong> under <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>emergency<\/strong> conditions requires something that is very quick and easy to setup. The antenna tuner could perhaps be considered for another article where your communications is centered upon your home, as this would make the tuner more feasible.<\/p>\n<p>Should your <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>radio<\/strong> not have an antenna <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>connection<\/strong> in the rear you can still improve your <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>radio<\/strong> reception with the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>use<\/strong> of an alligator clip and attach the antenna <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>wire<\/strong> to this clip and then the clip in turn to the antenna.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright @2008 Joseph Parish<\/p>\n<p>For more information relating to survival visit us at <a target=\"_new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.survival-training.info\">http:\/\/www.survival-training.info<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Author: <a href=\"http:\/\/EzineArticles.com\/?expert=Joseph_Parish\">Joseph Parish<\/a><br \/>Article Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/ezinearticles.com\/?A-Good-Portable-Wire-Antenna&amp;id=1049210\">EzineArticles.com<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myropcb.com\/\">Lowest price PCB Prototype<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you are involved in any sort of emergency you really must have a good communications antenna.
