Hello People, My name is Paula, I'm getting back on the rig after a 30 years. I started out with a Colt 210, a 40ch AM way back in 1980. I made a stealth 1/4 wavelength antenna in the attic by hanging 2.7meters (ish) of copper plumbing tube from the roof apex with string and used chicken mesh wire tacked to the attic joists as my ground plain. We lived on top of a big hill in the Midlands UK. It was great fun. By 1982, I was legal with a FM Colt 295A. I stopped around 1987, Good days! I still don't remember why I stopped.Anyhow, I'm now in Cornwall UK, I have myself a Midland 48 Excel (PR 27/97) as a homebase and a Uniden 100 (CB 27/81) for our 30 year old 4x4, I'm in the process of sorting antennas and running coax. Can't wait to get back on the air! I would like to request the English Call-sign 26-CT-8989 if I may please. Thanx
