Hi CT, I am completely new to radio and have never transmitted on any freq before! I am yet to make my first QSO. I wasn't around when CB was big and it's a shame because it sounds like it was alot of fun! I enjoy browsing through the UK frequencies looking for radio chatter. My interest in radio has grown significantly when watching radio related youtube videos. I really enjoy watching CTX965's (V8CSW on youtube) CTX activations! Unfortunately, I don't think there's any good 'hills' in my bit of Essex ?! I recently picked up a midland alan 42 multi and have a 21" Albrecht on the way! Could you please assign me the next available England call-sign? Thanks! ![]() David in Basildon, Essex Edited by DavidUK, Wednesday, 31. July 2013, 19:36.

Hi David, Welcome to CT!! It certainly is a good place to start, loads of help on hand! Glad you enjoyed my videos! Being outdoors and enjoying the radio really do work well and the CTX gave me the chance to combine the two! So many areas of radio to enjoy and if operating portable is your thing then have a look at the CTX section (bottom of the forum) Whilst hills are great for radio it not the only place to operate portable. Good luck with your endeavors in the future!! Again welcome to the CT! Jason (CTX965) P.s also check out this YT channel for more info on operating portable.... UKCBTV is the channel name |

Thanks all for the warm welcoming!
Hopefully! I think I'm going to need to go to high ground or get a decent antenna high up.. Will have to browse the forums to see if I can find any info on the best antenna setup. I have lots to learn!
I was picking up alot of CB activity around midday yesterday - alot of chatter from europe. Not sure if this is normal or something to do with the great weather we had yesterday?
I noticed that on cb user maps and the callsign lists .. I hope I'll be able to make contact soon. If I can't with my 21" antenna on my HT, I might have to buy or build an antenna for home.
I watch videos uploaded by UKCBTV too! Great stuff! I would like to build one of those vertical bazooka antennas that you use but not sure if it will be much good where I live. Maybe I should just stop worrying and just go ahead and try it! I'll be sure to have a look around the CTX forums. Thanks
Australia - awesome country!! I hope to visit someday! Once again, thank you all for your welcome messages. You might not see me posting anything until I have moved up from being a newbie. I do browse the forums daily so I'll be around, just in the background. ![]() David Edited by DavidUK, Friday, 2. August 2013, 05:43.
