Drifter, no problem. We all started out needing basic help at some time.
The video you referenced is useful. When you talked about a long wire, I thought you were hunting medium wave stations. A

Re: Hobbies in Public Areas
Hah, same here. I like to get out in the fresh air with my ham gear and inevitably someone asks if I'm talking to Mars, or little green men.

Re: Another silly (?) question.
Don’t let it short out. The other leg on an input plug connects to the radio’s ground, so a short will ground the long wire and make the antenna useless.
Also, be careful. Some radio front ends
