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.

You're currently viewing our forum as a guest. This means you are limited to certain areas of the board and there are some features you can't use. If you join Charlie Tango you'll be able to access member-only sections, and use member-only features such as customizing your profile, sending personal messages, voting in polls, viewing modifications and more.

If you are not yet a member: Registration is simple, fast, and completely free. Simply CLICK HERE to start the Registration process. Your application will need to include your personal name and approximate location, it will require you to confirm your email, and then be signed-off by one of our Admin Staff, but this is usually completed within 24 hours (48 max)

High guys, I'm Graham, thanks for the add to the group, I used to have a CB in the 80's and recently originally purchased one a TTI 560 for our van. I am currently running a Cobra 29 Lx eu unit either mobile in my van or from home using a home made double bazooka located in the loft.
I would like to ask what channels should I be listening out on for any possible activity?
If I have the rig set up for Uk then I only have access to 40fm channels but there are options for EU settings which give access to 40am channels as well.
Thanks for your time,

Graham

Hi Graham - welcome back to the hobby!

From Gloucester you might want to listen out for two very large nets which also cover the west country, Wales and parts of the west midlands and South coast:

Weds evenings - ch28 UKFM from about 7ish?

Sun afternoon - ch34 UKFM from about 2oclock.

Hope that helps.

73s

Tim

Hi Graham,
Welcome to CT DX group.
There are a few threads in the 'News' section about regular nets, but a lot of the time, it's best to check the shoutbox at the bottom of the main page of the forum (or even post there yourself letting other members know you are calling out and which frequency), as that is updated in 'real time' (like a chatroom) and thus people can respond quickly.

All CT members are expected to use good operating procedure, good manners, and be friendly...Please do not chat on any calling frequencies, or use bad language on air, thank you it is appreciated.
