Cheap DEGEN DE 312 Shortwave radio+ Homemade wire antenna= Shortwave listening

DEGEN DE 312 12$ cheap radio. Shortwave is good when I use headphone. Works very good at FM with telescopic antenna. MW with lots of noise. (May be I live in the appartment near power line or something like this so why). SW is not so good with telescopic antenna. I use 15 ft copper wire as an antenna, got from inside broadband internet cable:)
With this wire antenna I use to listen BBC, China Radio Int, Radio Sweden, Radio Romania Int, DW, VOA, AIR, Radio Prague, Belarussia, Ukrain, Voice Of Russia+ some Arabian, Asian language radio stations in diffarent time of the day & night.
I can carry this pocket size 10 band world receiver anywhere. It's ok to listen FM, MW and few basic worldwide SW stations. But not for DXing or more. FM is from 70-108 MHz & I can hear a TV channel between 73-77 MHz.
SW range is 49, 41, 31, 25, 22, 19, 16, 13 M band. I am listening Radio Sweden in this video at Tuesday, February 17, 2009. My location is Moscow, Russia.

What's with the M. Night Shaylaman effects with the camera. Isn't this to show your radio with anttena design? "I hear dead radios"

I have a DE312, it's one of the better radios of this size on shortwave. Even with just the whip antenna, decent reception here. And the wide tuning dial is easier to tune than the other radios' dials.
