A Heathkit CanTenna would be ideal for that setup.

In case you missed the subtlety, this NG is for licensed radio
amateurs, not CB'ers with illegally modified rigs and/or amplifiers.

Illegal in the USA!!!

Buy a legal Cobra and live on 11 meters at 15 Watts PEP [the legal USA limit].
You may be making a public confession of illegal activity!!

An eight and 1/2 feet long SS whip is the BEST mobile 11 meter antenna.

Thanks Guys I understand where you are all coming from. What I did not
say was that this is going to be used outside the US on a trip I am
taking and wanted to secure my own two way communications while on the
road with my partners.
Thanks

I can think of a couple of solutions to your problem but as a personal
favour to you I will not do anything to help you break the law and from
what I have seen so far no one else on the group wants to see you do
something that you might regret if you ever get caught.

You are CORRECT!!

But, Mr. Hollingsworth ignores that too. Along with everything else on 11 meters.

Now did I open a Pandora's Box or what LOL.

Ok let me put this out there. Instead of me using CB's how about Mobile
Ham. I know I have to get a ham Lic. The one I would go for I think is
called a Techn. Lic. This way all I have to do is take a writen test
and yes I pass on the morse code.
Thoughts?

Not quite. Haven't you seen the warnings to both CBers AND hams about
"freebanding". And what CBers do are not Riley's purvey outSIDE the ham
bands. That comes from the Dallas Field Engineering Office and is headed up
by Mr Brock.

And in RH's defense, if you want to do something positive, the next time you
are out cruising in your HF mobile, dial up 28.085 AM and just listen along
the interstate. When you hear a trucker yapping on his "export reddio thar,
drivah", just copy down his company name on the door, DOT number (to verify
the company), tractor number (usually on the door or side of the hood),
date/time and frequency and location and send it to . He
will then issue a warning letter requesting the company to contact him to
"discuss' the matter! The companies don't like to get letters like this, and
will act to stop their drivers' illegal radio activity. It *was* quiet
along Interstate 85 for a short while, but now the drivers are back yapping
as usual. They are all over the country doing this and it is up to licensed
hams to do, at least, SOMETHING to stop it!
So how do you observe them doing this? One way is that they see hams'
screwdriver antennas or multiple antennas and they remark on "their secret,
spay-shul truckers' channel (thar)" like......"He shore has a lot of
'antanners on that car", or "Git a load of that big 'antanner'; betcha he
kin tawk to China". (Little does he know it CAN!). A small tape recorder
works well! ;) It looks like a mike, so the trucker likely won't even know
what you are doing!

So let's get out there and record these stupes and get them lettered! It
*may* not stop it all, but anything is better than nothing at all (like
whining and complaining about what someone ELSE isn't doing :) )! And, yes,
I am told that there SEVERAL companies we *should* be hearing about soon! At
least I HOPE so! If it is allowed to continue, can we expect to find them on
15 Meters with Super-Duper Cobra "ham" reddios wid 2,000 "channels" (thar?)

I am a Canadian so I don't know exactly what you can do with a Tech
licence. You may want to pick a license base on the privileges that it
confers rather than the exams that you may or may not have to write

Good luck getting your ticket - Paul
