If you do string up an outside antenna, stay away from powerlines, for safety as well as noise issues.

If your neighborhood has above ground phone lines, connecting with a capacitor to the phone line may work. Use the black or yellow wire of a phone cord, that should (unless you have 2 phone lines) capacitively couple to teh live phone line and give some SW reception. May be noisy though.
