Do NOT under any circumstances use VHF on land. First of all, VHF radios
will only talk to others. Second VHF use on land unless you have a license
will get you arrested FOR SHURE! Third, VHF is line of sight transmission
only and things like trees, buildings, etc will make the signal almost
unusable.
Get a good CB, have it professionally "worked up" and tuned, and call it a
day. I get anywhere from 4-10 miles out of my CB setup with a 4 foot
antenna.
