Then again, with a big enough amp, directional antenna and mudda nature,
they can do it much more than your knowledge permits.

Well, you both could buy CB radios and put up very large antennas and
then try to contact each other every day. You'll probably be able to
talk to her about once in 5 or 10 years.

Hi,
My girlfriend lives in Japan and I live in France. I would like to know
if it s possible to chat with her with a CB? We call each other every

Thanks for the answers!

Possible? Yes. Dependant on atmospheric conditions.

Practical? No. Those same atmospheric conditions are unpredictable and
far from reliable on the CB band.

As someone else suggested, use internet chatting, it's probably just
as cheap and far more reliable.

I thought you were going to tell him to learn CW, Dave.
