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.

Many thanks to Roy in Corsica for for his help on the radio, always a strong 5/9+ 20 and 40 on the 5 ele

Best DX contact was Uruguay followed by Puerto Rico on Friday evening, it was a brief opening through Spain and Portugal. Friday morning was fair into EU and dropped away around 1.30pm, it slowly picked up around 7pm.
Best ground wave contact was Farmer Richard.
Saturday was better for EU contacts, it was steady during the day, evening
Openings never happened, there were a few strong stations form 01 and 161
But very isolated.


Many thanks to all who took the chair and worked hard for the contacts to round of a brilliant weekend.

Andy 591/p

26ok224 was pulling 150w from his moped battery :shock: What a star Ricardo is, lads like him make radio interesting :thumb:

That was a good contact from the lil wil antenna. Nice one Martin too making it up North :thumb:

A good log considering the band and a decent turn out too.
