| Hi, my name is Andy, I am a new member. I have dabbled with radio on an off since the early 80s, mostly CB. The last year or so I have been using android radios with Zello, but find it a bit clinical. So have dug out some PMR446 sets and thought I would give it a bash on the 8@8 PMR446 net. First time I tried I got nothing as I’m in a built up area and in the middle of the Chiltern hills. So I made a home brew antenna with the help of you tube got a swr of 1.00 stuck it on a 12 foot poll and all of a sudden I can hear and be heard. Best copy tonight was 26miles  Now if possible could I get a CT call sign. Thank you in advance Andy. | |

| Hello Andy, welcome to the forum.
Would you be kind enough to put a more specific QTH in your profile. The nearest town or city is required for me to issue your call sign.
