Hello:

This ng is great! Thank you all for sharing your collective information and
experiences with CB and HAM.

I'm looking for a way to communicate in a remote region that is in, and
surrounded by, mountains and hills. There is no cell service.

Can CB or HAM operate here? What would need to be set-up? What I'd like to
have is a base station for the house, something for a car or truck, and then
a couple mobile units for hiking, etc. A distance of 100 mile radius from
the base station would be incredible, but a 20-30 mile radius is most
needed.

Any information you choose to share is greatly appreciated. Also, since I'm
new and trying to learn, if you are feeling generous, explainations are more
than appreciated! For example, "you could use CB, but it's limited to XYZ,
but you can overcome that with ABC, etc." Hope that makes sense!
