Just today I was talking skip on 18 AM (No sideband) to Puerto Rico from Pennsylvania. I was explaining to him that he should check it out to see me talking to him. He locked his son up in his room, though.

  • good work form puerto,,,,,,,,,,,,rico to P.A

  • I love talking DX. Been doing it since 1977.

  • hi im from morocco , i always get skips from aal usa by summer . i hear cibistes from NY , N carolina , florida , Njersey, phil , idaho,cal , its so amazing how mother nature is .

    i use just 1/4 antenna and a midland 4 w to which i v e modified the final out put transistors to get 20 watts .under 18 volts dc .

  • @dudeproductions100 it has more to do with more than antennas. it is the atmospheric conditions that really make the difference. when I was 16, I talked from Arkansas to Australia on an RCI-2950 and  a 102 inch steel whip.

  • On a good day a barefoot radio (2 1/2-38 watts) can reach 4000 miles away. With a 1/4 wave back door reflector on a long van, AM channel 11 with conditions . Got to love Mother Nature. 73's and Aloha

  • i thought cb radios could only reach up to 15 miles away from ur position

  • @bugginout standard wattage for a stock cb, is 4 watts dead key, with some wear around 8 watts peak power, or "swing" but if you take it to a CB shop they can peak and tune it for you so that your peak power is around 12 watts, but the most important aspect of any radio setup is a good antenna and ground system, with a low swr. hope this helped some
