I have no problem receiving signals from all 4 corners of the US. No matter how you put ut, to get over the garbage in the air you have to keep up with the power struggle of today or be lost in the mud. Ham operators have repeaters and are allowed linears and such to reach their distances. Not because that little rubber duck or fancy double dipole is grounded PERFECTLY and matched PERFECTLY to their radio. Their 1 watt or 2 watt transition heard round the world is a result of repeaters and bouncing a signal not the sole work of their transmitter antenna combo.

It just will not happen for a cb frequency to carry a 4 watt signal miles upon miles at command. You need power or skip conditions.
