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.

My car is pretty much loaded, the beast is packed :999: , Genny for Craig as well, bivvy and bed are in, reckon 1 pair of sox and toothbrush will offset the extra weight.
Jetting off from Peterboghorror :mtb: Thursday eve, might have to rough it on the roadside overnight, or a tarp across the trailer as a tent. LOL

Whatever the weather I ma sure we will have a good bit of banter, be great to meet up and chat with you all. :beer: :cheers:

Designing and building even bigger Antennas. Hoping for some good DX, waiting for solar minimums to fade away.

I'll be arriving at 11pm is tonight at the location.

I was struck down with heat exhaustion and almost heatstroke yesterday at 6.30pm so very fragile. Setting g off at 8pm from Whitby when temperature is lower. I'll be on 27.345usb from 8pm and throughout the night.

Just trying to muster the energy to install the rig in the car and get packed. Make sure you all stay hydrated and drive safely. Looking forward to seeing some old and new faces.

See you all soon.

Thats it, car packed, and I mean packed! Just need to put food out of house fridge into car fridge in the morning and I`ll be away, aiming to get there for before 9am as I`m meeting the guy with the keys.
To all that are coming please drive safely and look forward to meeting you all
To all those who cant make it please listen out for the CT club call of 26CT000, We`ll be listening especially hard for any CT calls, if you can spot us on cluster that would be great as no internet up there
Thanks to all for your interest in this event
