With an ordinary CB radio, which operates in the 27 MHz band, you can occasionally talk to other CBers thousands of miles away. You have to wait for the right conditions, but it happens. More powerful Amateur Radio (Ham) equipment can do this routinely, but an FCC license is required for using Ham equipment.
