I tried running a long wire 70 foot high 100 foot long . Did not do much. Now i have one about 25 foot up 200 foot long picks up all over the dial .
Make sure you ground your set to the earth . And use lighting aresster . And for safety use a through off switch . If you know a storm is on the way through the switch off , or if your away . Ther are lot of sites show you best way to build a long wire antenna.
