Could you communicate across Atlantic Ocean on CB Radio?

From the Rock of Gibraltar to New York City is there a civilian CB radio with that type of range?. I keep thinking curvature of the earth would cause interference.Could you communicate across Atlantic Ocean on CB Radio?
It is possible under certain conditions. There is a phenomenon called "skip" where the radio waves bounce off of the ionosphere and can shoot hundreds even thousands of miles. That happens fairly often but it is unpredictable. Several years ago I was talking to a friend of mine and suddenly heard people speaking spanish. A few minutes later they were gone. I will not pretend to understand all of the mechanics of skip, but it has something to do with the sun, you can research it on your own if you want to. In short, yes it is possible to communicate over very long distances with a cb.Could you communicate across Atlantic Ocean on CB Radio?
CB radio operates on 40 channels at 27 MHz. The Amateur Radio Service 10 meter bad is at 28 MHz. For purposes of considering the usability over a given path, there is no difference.



I have confirmed contacts with Italian Amateur Radio Stations on 10 meters several times over the last few years. Thus it is possible that contact could be made between Gibraltar and New York.



Problems: This path would not be reliable for scheduled or repeated communication. In addition, FCC regulations prohibit the use of CB radios to make contact with stations outside the USA. Thus, even though it is possible, it is neither reliable nor legal.Could you communicate across Atlantic Ocean on CB Radio?
Actually, your signal can bounce off of the atmosphere, and yes, I believe you could easily contact New York by cb, but it would be spiratic. It's also illegal to transmit with more than 4 watts in the states. Plus, even if you can bounce your signal, it's called skip over here, you're not allowed to knowingly contact someone more than 155 miles away via cb here in the states. It's all because of the fashist fcc, but noone really cares what the rules are, there are many people who break them. Noone really monitors that stuff.
No.
