@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
