I'll ask this here as I think some forums would frown on this question, so Here goes.
I put up a inverted Vee for 20M a few months back to do some DX on 20M, just reciently I was listening on 10M when 10-10 was running a contest, and found out the inverted Vee would load up with the internal tuner on the TS-940. So... I let my fingers spin the dial a little lower and found it picks up 38LSB real nice, and 6 AM sounded like a crazy party :w00t: Now I really doubt that I can cut it on the superbowl going barefoot with an antenna that is meant for a frequency 1/2 +/- that of the CB band, BUT with another inverted Vee cut for 11M???? could be fun. I am sure there are other radios better suited for this, but I will be living out in the dog house if I get another radio. I just wish I could find the 148GTL packed up in storage :sad:
So anyone use Ham gear on CB, FCC issues aside. :bdh:
I recall reading some Kenwood tube radios are decent. if they are small, maybe I can sneak it in honey, it just followed me home.
Also anyone recommend a simple wire antenna to hang in the trees other then the Inverted vee?
