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.

good day all.

first off, my name is Ian and Whitesnake was/is the old C.B. handle...one of the original members of the Sierra Romeo club (hence my call sign S.R.35).

Also a member of the Uniform Kilo group as 26UK1959.

First introduction to radio was back in the 70's with a GEC model, first legal F.M. radio was a Gecol (yes i know but they were only 10 quid new) and from there I moved through a variety of radios until I found the Audioline 341 and that became my main radio, soon introduced to the 'big rigs' and SSB so the obvious move was into DX, unfortunately at the time if the skip came in it would wipe most of the bands out with a frenzy of europeans trying to be heard over the Italians.

Spent a few years off radio but returned 2 years ago and passed my foundation in April, will never leave CB but enjoy the contacts on HF.

Current set up is: Audioline home base for daily use, President Jackson mark 1 for mobile/net use and an old 5/8 wave antenna...hoping to get a better set up in the mobile so I can escape theQRM on net nights.
For HF I use an FT450D through an X80 vertical, for 2/70 I use an FT9800R through a tri-band white stick.

Anyway, thanks for letting me join and look forward to contacting some of you on wednesday nights. 73's to all.

Hello Ian/26CT227!

I'm brand new on CT myself and looking forward to the band 'opening' (hopefully !) in May, until when I've knocked together a portable 5/8th wave Marconi verticle, and hope to get some good line-of-sight contacts from the tops of the South Downs near where I live.

I expect we'll have a chat on air one of these days,

best regards,

Chris.
