/diy/ - Do It Yourself

hey guys, any tips for my antenna? I'm very new to this. I'm trying to listen to shortwave on a Tecsun PL-310ET. I ran a wire from my garage to the window, and fed it inside. The end has an alligator clip crimped to it to hook to the little telescoping antenna. It works GREAT for FM, but for Shortwave it's got a shit ton of bleed over from FM stations and lots of noise. I think it might work even better unclipped from the aerial, just with the alligator clip a few inches away. The wire is about 8 feet off the ground and 32 feet long from insulator to insulator. Pic related is the far end (Northeast).

Any tips? It's 24awg and the insulators are just wooden blocks. I have it running through my window to clip to the radio.
