Ham signals can travel thousands of miles with the help of repeaters and
other devices that relay signals from one spot to the next.

Interesting story. Never heard the ionosphere called a "device" before!

Yes, there's a lot to be said for having your own little piece of land to
string your antennas around (or big piece of land if you are lucky enough!)
