Besides, when skip comes up channel 35 (27.355) is killer on skip not locals though only for like areas like Tennessee and down south. I should pick up some decent skip there.

Well thank you guys. What i have been doing to broadcast on 11 M. I have just been putting my Turner plus three power mic near the two speakers and i play audio and have a live show on my modified CB rig. I have the antenna up 41 ft in the air. It is all ready to go I am on 26.065 (Channel 1 on a CB.) I come in through the whole tri state pretty clear.

Well I have a CB radio which is 11M. But I was wondering how to hook up music directly into the cb.

Lol you mean the FCC or people that are on the cb and get mad at you for pirating on 11 M? 

Well how did you pirate on 11 M? I only broadcast for a half hour or a hour at the most.

I was wondering if there is a way to pirate radio on 11 meters. Such as with a CB radio. Mic to speaker does not sound all that good. I was wondering if there is any possible way to make the quality better. I have looked on youtube about Pirate radio on CB and it sounds pretty good. But I just do not know how these people do it.

Yeah i tried this and it still overloaded the radio. WTF I guess I am buying that indoor active loop antenna for MW/SW. I just hope I don't waste my money there is just a lot of noise and overload in the radio.

Ok I will use 30 ft of wire. Any specific kind of wire that i should use? Like coax cable or something so there will be less noise?

See that is one of the problems about the SW radio's of today. Most of them are portables and i want one for my house. I know the radio's for the house are better then the portables especially for outdoor?indoor antenna's. I would just want a radio for the house that has SSB and the SW bands nothing else.

Okay 30 ft of wire should do the trick? I just don't want it to overload and just get the stations in clearer without all of that noise. I am guessing i would connect the wire antenna to the telescopic antenna with a alligator clip? Or will that overload it even more?

Right now iJust bought another portable for $40 works great by the way. It is a Realistic DX-390 has SSB. But problem is is that when I hook up any kind of external antenna to it. I just get RF interference big time. Like buzzing noises i guess i am overloading the receiver. I don't know if there is any possible say to fix this problem it would be great if i could get away from all of the noises in the radio.

I have a 60ft longwire antenna on a branch. It seems to be working ok i guess. The longwire is NOT straight though. Tonight at 0:50 UTC I received a station on 1356 or it was 1357 somewhere around there and they were speaking Spanish. Funny thing is that I am no where near a station that operates on that frequency. Maybe someone can tell me where that station is or what it is. If so thank you very much. But everyone thank you for all your help i appreciate it.

Ok well thanks for the help I appreciate it. I have a CB antenna up on the roof and a 60ft Longwire antenna in the tree.(Not really all that high up only 15ft in the air.) But if I ground the longwire antenna I get a lot of overload from a local AM station on almost every SW station even the really strong one's. I guess what i really need to do is get a better radio. Can anyone recommend a radio to me? That has SSB and all that happy fun stuff one that is under $100 if possible.

Does anyone know any kind of SW antenna that will work for my SW radio. I have a Grundig S350DL (No SSB) I have been trying to receive Pirate broadcasts here in North America but still no luck. I hooked up a CB antenna (The Antron 99)  but I am not sure if a CB antenna will work for the SW bands. Can anyone recommend any SW antenna's i can buy or build to improve reception so I can receive these Pirate broadcasts.
