CB Radio, range in miles

I have talked to people in texas, Florida and countless other areas of the south on ssb from the Massachusetts, NH area on my Galaxy 959 (which I am told is not that great of a ssb radio). That's was running my wilson 2000 with rg8x coax. It can be pretty fun talking to people so far away. SSB seams to be a little more professional than the am cb bands. I don't usually hear annoying people playing music, constantly yelling "audio" "audio" over and over again or saying "shut up stupid"

 

Nobody with red panties on either

 

Oh there out there even on SSB...Get on 38LSB on a Friday night, and they tend to come out of the wood-work...Not sure why, but seems like most of them are located in Cali...I'm sure there's some coming out of Jersey too, but I don't usually get conditions out of the NE corner after dark.

 

What's wrong with jersey texas? You got a problem?

 

Didn't say anything was wrong with Jersey...Course if a massive tidal wave wipes it off the face of the Earth, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it...
