I hardly think this would be a problem. For one, you'd need an antenna
radiating a large proportion of skywave. Second, the CB bands are loaded
with all kinds of open carriers, whistlers, music players, etc. so your
tiny part in this would be unlikely to harm anyone.
You cannot control whether an antenna radiates a skywave or a groundwave.
Even with controlling the takeoff angle, you will still get some radiation
in other directions which means you will get some skywave propagation
anyway.
Due to its frequency, groundwave on CB is not a useful propagation mode.
27mhz is high enough in frequency that it does not want to follow the
curvature of the earth. It propagates mainly by "line of sight" (i.e.
straight line) and/or skywave (i.e. skip).
