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.

Does anyone know of a list of antenna riggers?
Or can we start one here?!

I often get asked by customers if I can have a antenna put up, but these days a good antenna erector is tin on the ground it seems.
So I thought it might be useful to start a list.

I've tried in the past to find someone around these parts Toby, and failed. By all means let's try a list on here and if it works we'll Pin it or put it in the Links Page.

One thing I found just this week is a site called MyBuilder.com. On that site you post (anonymously) details of a job you want done and local tradespeople offer to do it (or offer to quote/estimate for the work). You then look at the feedback for the tradesmen that have replied and shortlist a number of them to contact. I've just posted a job involving removal of a hege, erection of some fencing and refurbishment of a car-port and I got about seven responses. I now have two quotes in, more on the way, and have every confidence the job will get done at a fair price.

I am thinking that the site would probably also include Trades/Companies that install Satellite Dishes and whatnot, so posting a job "Required, installation of Ham Radio Aerial to House Roof" would probably attract appropriate responses.

IF I can finally decide what aerial I want to put up here, I am seriously thinking of trying MyBilder.com to find a fitter.

If anyone does use MyBuilder.com for an aerial system and it works, please let us know.

I used these guys

Astral Aerials Reading - 0118 926 2308 ‎

They have been up on my roof a couple of times to swap over white sticks. First time they mounted the chimney straps and a 10ft pole with a Watson 50, second time they swapped the 50 over for a 2000.

I've also had another roofer interested in filling a whole in the market as he agrees there is some easy money in there to be made.
