Hi All Chris here from High Wycombe; I'm afraid the CB boom in the 80's past me buy mainly because my folks couldn't afford to buy me a radio; and by the time i could afford one, everyone had stopped using them (well not quite everyone as this forum is testament to). Used to know quite a few Hams when I lived up north; fantastic guys, really passionate about radio, one guy Dennis I knew used to build his own kit, I remember being in the Lake District with him and his massive whip aerial stuck on the top of his car. He also used to have his Call sign on a sign in the back of his car incase you wanted to complement him on his driving. I have ordered myself a Midland 42 Multi just to get my hand in it should arrive tommorow (Amazon Prime is a dangerous mistress). Initially I'm just going to use it handheld and see what I can get. Happy to get recommendations for an antenna to replace the rubber duck it comes with. Please may I have a CT callsign, happy to take the next available number. Chris |

Thanks Craig Forgot to say; somewhere I have a scanner, really wanted to find it to have a play around with. But just to be clear I never used it to listen to ATC, as that is illegal
