SWR is irrelevant to (not a threat to hardware in) less than 5 watt transmitters.
Talking around the world? Well sometimes police (operating in similar frequencies) would get skip (reception) from departments two states away. But getting a CB to talk to other continents is rather unlikely.
I stumbled upon a 120 meter antenna. Then asked the ham about it. He had just talked to Japan early in the morning when skip was more likely. And using code. Voice at that distance (even with that much power) was not likely.
How does one get a CB to talk to another continent? Or was it to someone in Canada?
