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.

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.

Just an idea I came up with, it may have been done before, I don't know, but discussed it with some of the other staff and it seems like something to try :)

With the drop in propagation, I have been thinking of ways to do something different for groundwave contacts.

The idea is : to 'send' a message of some sort, from the most southern part of the UK (if possible), and transfer it by QSO from one member to another, until it reaches the most northern part of Scotland (obviously via Wales on the way).

To make this happen, I think we need .....

1) One CT member as far south (Cornwall) as possible, to start the ball rolling, and who can be on the radio next Saturday (17th) reasonably early (9am/10am).
2) Enough CT members on so that the message can be passed (lets say an average of) around 20 miles or so between contacts (although the more the merrier), in order for the message to be transferred.
3) Somebody in Scotland as far north as possible, to receive the final 'pass' and confirm the message.

It would be amazing if we could get at least one member from every County as a part of the chain, but realistically, it might be a big ask !

So,
What do you (the members) think ?

Frequency is not decided yet, it could be on UKFM, or freeband SSB, midband, who knows, whatever you think is best ...

Would also be good to get some CTX involved :)

"I'll spread the word, although Saturday morning wouldn't leave much time for CTX members to get to decent locations, but you never know. I work most weekends"
:wave:

Takes me 10 minutes to tie my shoes these days, thennnn I need to work out what camo I'm wearing.
I'll be out today anyway, keep my ears on.
