Hi Charlie Tango members, my name is Nick and I am an alcoholic ... sorry, wrong forum! I am a recovered CB'er from the early eighties that is getting back into the scene. Originally from Aylesbury my handle back in '82 was Blue Cruiser (well I was only 12, and I had a blue bike!), but now with a bit more "experience" on my side I think that might give off the wrong impression!!! So, no handle as yet, but the wife calls me Monkey Boy, I don't think because I look particularly look like an ape, but then I am quite hairy so that just might have to do for now. These days I live in Oxfordshire, between Henley on Thames & Wallingford, and I have put a rig in my shed, with a little heater & a chair, that acts as my man shack. I have a CRT SS6900N CB radio with a Solarcon Antron 99 antenna about 3m off the ground and which I am hoping to poke a bit higher now that no one (wife/neighbours) has so far complained. I sprayed the antenna olive green so that it didn't stand out too much using Krylon camouflage Fusion spray paint (matt finish, no metal in paint - I did my research :-)) and it's turned out fairly difficult to spot. In my shack I also have a Uniden Bearcat UBC355CLT scanner that I have tuned to listen to some of the amateur VHF & UHF radio bands. I did join in with your Friday night net meet on channel 32 this evening, but only Sid near Swindon could hear me (I will get that aerial higher), although I could hear many others, and I don't have a call sign so he couldn't log me, but it was fun to listen to everyone and see that CB is far from dead So, please could you assign me a call sign and I look forward to catching you on the net again soon. All the best & 73's Nick
