hello. I'm not a ham radio operator(yet) but was hoping I could still
get some help here. A relative of mine stays at a rv campground close by
me. Its maybe 2-3 miles if you drew a straight line from my house.

the campground is in a very low area. you drive down a hill for quite a
ways and it has a lot of trees all down the hill. cell phones rarely
work and break up when they do. I have tried a indoor 1/4 wave antenna
at my house with murs while I setup a 1/4 wave antenna on their car at
the campground and no luck.

Would I have any more luck on the cb frequencies? Anyway thanks for the
help

CB will most likely work ok, seeing there's only 3 miles between you.
antenna height will make a difference.
