But I live in an apartment, so I can&rsquo;t do any installing of large antennas. So after doing the obligatory Google search, I narrowed it down to two antennas. The <a href="https://www.wellbrook.uk.com/loopantennas/">Wellbrook Loop Antenna</a> and the (much cheaper) <a href="http://dl1dbc.net/SAQ/miniwhip.html">PA0RDT Mini-Whip</a>. Being short of cash, I decided to buy a cheap <a href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/sis.html?_nkw=MiniWhip+Active+Antenna+Assembled+in+Box+HF+LF+VLF+mini+whip+sdr+RX+portable&amp;_id=222469570201&amp;&amp;_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2658">Mini-Whip from eBay</a>.</p>
