Antenna for Philco Radio
#2

Hello, and welcome to the forum. A long, high wire will give you good reception on your sets. Since you live "in the middle of nowhere," an outside antenna may be somthing that you can make. But if outside you must have lightning arrester(s) installed on it and you should have a method of disconnecting the antenna, such as a switch, from the radio(s).

I have my antennas inside where I live. I use eye screws and mount them to the ceiling where it joins the wall. I also have them along the window moulding in some rooms. There are several "right" way to do it, but as a rule longer and higher is better.
