How are you communicating on the trail or on the road?

I do not have a GMRS radio, but is a CB radio can transmit a 2 meter signal out and bounce off of the Ionosphere and back to earth I would think the same is true with GMRS. I know that they have days every year where the world of ham operators spend time talking around the world to each other. I am sure we have people on here that they know far more then I do. It has been almost 30 years since I studied this information.

I think that's called skipping

Sometimes on my drive in to work I'll have the CB on just to listen to weather or listen for truckers to forewarn me of any collisions up ahead. Im 60 miles out of Boston and I sometimes hear people in Canadia, Texas, or even Puerto Rico.
