Best Shortwave Antenna for Cycling ?

It's yer bike !
Believe it or not.
I had this junky transistor styled shortwave radio
that hardly picked up any stations.

I also had a hard time picking up even FM in some places out here due
to the terrain.
One bike radio(am/fm/headlight) I tried had a wire coming out from
it.
And when it got near the bike,the radio went dead.
So for FM your bike is a signal killer.

So just goofing around today I clipped a wire to my bike....(to the
reflector bracket) and this shortwave radio worked GREAT!

I rode around to all the places I had problems with FM even.
And the shortwave stations were really loud and clear.

I'm just sayin....
Whooda thunk a bike is a perfect shortwave antenna?

Thank God I don't have to listen to Clearchannel anymore !

I "CITE" common sense.

If you are on a public roadway you have to follow the local rules.
Chance are you will be OK using one earphone with the other one able to
hear car horns, warning shouts or emergency sirens.

Most states prohibit the use of headphones which cover both ears, while
riding a bicycle or driving a vehicle.

WNTD was Air America's outlet in Chicago. It's still listed on Air
America's seldom updated "Press Room" page, although Air America and WNTD
split more than a couple of weeks ago.

There's no indication Air America will be returning to either Chicago or Los
Angeles. In fact, Air America has recently dismissed their advertising
staffs in those cities.

Yeah...I tried to tune in one day to see what the fake left had to
say.
(The extreme left and extreme right are controlled by the same
people)
nd they were gone already.
From what I heard it was pretty bad.
Another good example of the fake left is Micheal Moore...
ALEX JONES' 911: THE ROAD TO TYRANNY MAKE THE NY POST'S PAGE SIX
GOSSIP COLUMN
NY POST: MICHAEL Moore 's anti-Bush film "Fahrenheit 9/11" isn't even
original. Two years ago, "9/11: The Road to Tyranny," a real
documentary by Alex Jones , had most of the "facts" Moore uses in his
scatter-shot diatribe. Jones, who is less interested in making money
than the self-aggrandizing Moore, released his film for free on his
Web site www.infowars.com, where it drew legions of new fans,
including producer Curt Johnson , who is hiring Jones as a consultant
on a political action thriller titled "Wake Up."
