Ham radio operation??

I am An aspiring amateur radio operator but I have no Idea were to begin. Can someone give me a hand and give me some instruction. I am really (for lack of a better term) “in awe” about radios in general and I would really like to do something with them.

P.S. I don’t have an exorbitant amount of money either

All-Band Radio Antenna – Is there such a thing?

I own a National Panasonic D49 multi-band radio receiver. It has three antenna connections on the back.  They are for the AM, FM and Shortwave radio bands, and each connector is for a 75 Ohm cable.

I connected each one to a 3 set TV splitter and now have a short piece of RG6 looking for a place to go.

  1. I realize a long wire antenna is best.
  2. I wanted to use a wireless antenna set to connect to the incoming TV cable (from dish on roof) which is also connected to an FM jack in the living room (2nd floor apartment) concrete walls etc.
  3. Is there a wireless setup for radio?

What should I connect to the three antenna jacks on the rear of the set? They are all marked 75 ohms. I can connect them to a common ground. That leaves the center conductor or each.
