Then again, it could be up to the ref if the plot requires it and it somewhat plausible.

I recall at Camp Courtney Okinawa, using a PRC 67 and a mast antena they were able to pick up the West Coast United States.
Then my uncle was a HAM, they would have a routine yearly radio weekend event at a local part. and with his walkie talkie handheld sized radio and some of the other folks they with some magic that only that sort of person understand were talking with folks all over the world.
Again what magic is contained in those little boxes and the witchery they preform I know little of.
