My question is for a 160m SDR receiver that I am building on the tinySDR concept, the thing is that I am clueless about the kind of antenna I will have to use for that. Most FM/AM radios available in the market have to kinds of antennas for reception, 1-the telescope type,2- the ferrite rod that is inside them. Now when I search on the internet for a specification for the 160m antenna I see people are talking about antennas that are very huge(as compared to the market radio) with a lot of wire.Why is it that way??? Can I use a ferrite rod connected with a telescope antenna for my project??
