Hello, My name is Tim, I live in Essex, England, I used to be a CB user in the late 80's- late 90's, After having looked on YouTube at a few of Steve Stevens CB related videos, I Find I have a rekindled interest in CB radio and as such have a new Sigma Venom 5/8 wave antenna arriving on Wednesday I have a basic-to intermediate knowledge of all things radio/electronic (although a bit rusty) and in the 80's was able to read and send Morse code, these days though I would struggle to even remember the Morse alphabet lol, Never did get around to taking the Ham test even though that was my intention back in the day. Thank you all for having me and if possible I would like to be allocated an England call sign when one becomes available please. Tim Edited by Timmus, Saturday, 10. October 2015, 17:02.

Welcome to the forum Tim. I for one would recommend going for the ham ticket if you're thinking about it! Lots of scope when 11m is in the doldrums

Hi Tim, welcome to the forum, it`s good that you have returned to the hobby like many of us. I`m taking my foundation exam for ham in two weeks time, it`s very basic now and opens up many more radio options, 73s, Gary. |
