Welcome to the official Charlie Tango DX Group CB And Amateur Radio Forum. You are visiting the UK's biggest and most active CB Radio club.. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Charlie Tango DX is a group dedicated to Hobby Radio Users in all forms, whether CB, Amateur, PMR446, Scanning and Short Wave Listening.
We are a very active and friendly group that welcomes anyone from anywhere in the world who has an interest in Radio, regardless of their level of experience, their equipment, their location, or their radio preference. We have members varying from fully qualified operators on the Amateur Bands, to newcomers who have just bought a PMR446 set, and many CBers both old and new. All are equal on the Site.

The CT Site contains many reviews, tips and modifications within the forums, and we take pride that no sensible question is ever left unanswered, and nobody is ever belittled or mocked for asking an honest question, no matter how simple it may seem. We were all new to the hobby once.

If you join Charlie Tango you'll be able to access member-only sections, and use member-only features such as customizing your profile, sending personal messages, voting in polls, viewing modifications and more.

I found this quite funny as within a distance of about 5 miles there must be 20 or 25 differant antenna's and yet the only people I hear are in Peterborough and Spalding, 1 person quite local to me has a huge tower with a good array of antenna's but I have never heard him or her I may just pop round and ask if they are active :whistle: :whistle: you never know could be a nice deal to be had!

Hi Wayne its funny you mentioned about the antenna array, just up the road from me are some huge beams on a mast in a back garden along with some other antennas. Ive never heard him until last Saturday night on 20mtrs, I checked his c/s on QRZ and got in touch with him.
He as told me to pop in any time for a cuppa and to see his station, this is really nice of him so I might call in over the holiday..

He certainly is mate and looking forward to some more chats with yourself and other like minded individuals :cheers:
Oh I love your suits. It must have been a bitch to get a 68 Extra Fat and a 12 Dwarf.
Give me a diablo sandwich, a Dr. Pepper, and make it quick, I'm in a god-damn hurry.
What we're dealing with here is a complete lack of respect for the law.
