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.

Hello to one and all.
My name is Les and i live in Blackpool , Lancashire . I retired from work 2 years ago and living on my government pension that restricts my spending a bit, but never the less i have invested in a new Bearcat BCT15X scanner to go alongside my aging Realistic DX394B hf receiver and at the moment i am waiting for a new wideband discone to be erected on the chimney pole .Hopefully that will give me good coverage over this large flat expanse of land called the "Fylde" (windmill land) from Barrow in Furness down to Liverpool. In fact just on the telescopic i am receiving airband Manchester and Liverpool. so things are looking good for scanning at least. Thats about it for now but my next task is to go CB radio but i have been out of that for so long (40+ years) i am relearning myself into the technicalities of it all first. Radio,SSB,AM , FM , power,SWR, Matching , Antennas, coax etc etc as i say on limited resources i cannot literally afford to spend unwisely. :pirate3:

Hi Les,
Welcome to CT DX group.
Good luck with getting yourself a CB setup. There is already a wealth of information on all aspects of the hobby here, you might have to search back a bit through some of the older posts but all the information you could ever wish for is on here.
If you can't find exactly what you need, then please post a new thread in the relevant section and ask, our members are always friendly and willing to help.
