    There are legal considerations, but putting those aside, speed will be
    lacking because of the typical narrow bandwidth available on a CB radio,
    300-1200 bps is typical on HF radio via amateur radio. The other problem
    is the communication is simplex, unless you have a receiver & transmitter
    running together at both ends with enough separation so they don't
    interfere with each other.
