Doc, if you wish to safely install an outside "long wire" antenna, really the best for general short wave listening, you will need insulators and a lightning arrestor, as well as a ground stake and insulators for the lead in wires to the lightning arrestor.

I have drawn a diagram of proper longwire installation. The pulley and weight are optional, they provide relief for the wire in high winds.
