Back in my CB days, I do still have the radio, I once skip talked to a guy in St. Louis Mo. I was at the time in Trenton Mi. about 25 miles south of Detroit. We talked for about a half hour clear as day. We were about 511 miles or so apart from each other.

I did have my CB radio tweaked after I bought it. Mine does put out 29 watts of power. Miss those days.
