Can one use antenna which is usually for TV on SW7600GR receiver? I am
unable to make use of SSB on my receiver I attribute this to antenna.
I just used simple twin wire to my window. I now want to make use of
that TV antenna. Which frequency can one tune SSB


My answer to this question in general is no.

The reason is that depending on how far away a TV station is from you
there could be huge signals in the TV band that could completely over
load the radio. A good TV signal is in the hundreds on millivolts. If
you connect the radio and use a wall wart power supply it might even
damage the radio.

I used to be able to draw visible sparks off the TV antenna on the roof
through twin lead to ground.

Don't do it. Make or buy an antenna for the radio.
