No. The old Citizen's Band (CB) consists of several skinny channels between 27 and 28 MHz,

and that's where the receiver part of a CB transceiver operates. "VHF" is technically the range

of frequencies between 30 and 300 MHz.

Not intentionally. It is possible however to receive a signal on cb from a local vhf transmitter that is faulty. Usually tuning circuits and filters remove RFI. Bad coax on either radio can also aid in the problem. If you specifically want to use VHF you need to have both a radio and antenna that is banded for it, an appropriate FCC license, and a willingness to advance in the radio arts.

How do CB skip work?

There's a level of the Earth's atmosphere called the ionosphere. Read the article on Wikipedia if you want specifics about that. Anyhow, the ionosphere can generally reflect radio signals of a frequency lower than 30 MHz back to earth... HF, VHF, UHF frequencies generally go right through it, which is why the line of sight limitation exists for these frequencies. CB radio runs in the 28-29 MHz range

How can you tell the difference between a CB antenna and a VHF antenna?

The CB antenna is made for a limited band of frequencies and the VHF is a wide band antenna made for higher freqs. A CB antenna will not make a good tv antenna. A CB ant. is mounted on the vertical and tv ants. are mounted horiz. in the USA. VHF antennas are much smaller as they are for higher frequencies. Usually, they have many elements (rods) and will go from long in the back to short in the front. Certain CB antennas (beams) are mounted horizontally, but all of the elements are roughly the same length - and about twice as long as a VHF antenna. The elements on a horizontal CB antenna are roughly 18 feet from end to end.

Can a CB radio cause problems with VoIP?

I do not see how a CB radio could interfere with VoIP service. If the CB radio is creating interference on the line, check your telephone. Or even check your broadband modem to ensure that you are not creating packet loss due to the CB radio.

Compare CB radio and VHF radio?

Yes, but not very effectively. VHF and CB radios are on different frequencies and therefore for best efficiency require different length antennas. You might be able to receive with the CB antenna, but transmitting will result in a high SWR and possibly overheat, shutdown, or destroy your VHF radio.
