 Why not look at the ARRL Long Range Prediction charts? Real Radio Scientists
have spent years developing this stuff, it might surprise you..and BTW most
of the rumor-legends of CB are vaporware, this is another case of same.

 "Side band"??? "a 3 beamed yagi, horizontal"??  Would you mind explaining
these strange terms? Yagi's *are* beams. Some have 3 elements...these are
the kind of communication problems that prevail in the 27 Mhz universe..
..my suggestion, Mr. Tulley, is to actually concentrate on learning the
real terminology, then some basic theory. If you've got any time left, try
some Morse code practice. If you're very lucky, you might just pass your
Novice ticket - but not if you insist on clinging to this CB folklore like
a security blanket! Give it up! It's worthless. As far as Packet on CB goes,
read my posting to that other technotwit on 'sci.electronics', there isn't
a snowball's chance in Hell that the FCC will grant *ANY* additional freqs
or perks to the 11 meter crowd, so grow up! Get into real radio...
