| Hello,
I recently became interested in CB radio since my father passed his Foundation Exam in 2019.
I have a CRT Millenium in the car and have got some pretty decent results with it; my personal best so far being 30 miles as the crow flies using a mag mount and 4W standard power.
I also have a Home Base and a 5/8 wave antenna. In the summer of 2019 when the propagation was good, I copied a guy in Scotland, 330 miles away as the crow flies. We had a crystal clear 3-5 minute conversation and to say I was pleased would be an understatement!
It's fair to say that since then I have got the radio bug and the whole hobby/scientific aspect of the radio fascinates me.
I hope one day to further my knowledge in this fascinating field and undertake the relevant qualifications.
I would like to request a call sign as I don't currently have one and I think it would be nice for people to be able to log me when propagation is good.
Kind regards,
Charlie. | |
