You can thank CSM Vallente GA Mills (who was in Special Forces before his tour as an ROTC instructor) for that one. He had each of the group of cadets that was with him try it, and it works. Signals get faint after about seven miles, but under that it does work. When I moved to active duty, my fellow soldiers thought it was just awesome; they never heard of it either.
