| Hi,
I have just re-activated my interest in CB radio after my first foray in 1980. My personal is Steve and I have always wanted to return to CB and now it is legal, I have returned.
I bought a Superstar 360 FM in 1980 and sported a DV27 antenna on my Mk3 Cortina back in the day. I was parked near Gatwick Airport when two customs officers confiscated the radio from me (it was not legal then) ending a great summer of CB memories talking to many new CBers worldwide on SSB. This was a new experience for many.
I worked away from the UK and just recently bought a Superstar 3900 classic because it eminded me of my first radio. Athough acivity is based on conditions, not a lot heard up here just yet but I would like to apply here for a Charlie Tango call to get things rolling.
Hope to start static mobile again in summer from the hills.

| Hello Steve, welcome to the forum and back to the hobby. Nice intro buddy! We're only a few months away from the summer E-skip season so the band should open up most days then into Europe. We all have to be a little patient.  I am delighted to allocate you 108-CT-248 may you have good luck with it. 73's Gary. C.T. Admin. | |

| Hi Gary,
That was really quick, many thanks for taking the time to allocate my call sign.
I shall need to get a new antenna and get ready for the summer E Skip, as you say.
Looking forward to working other CT call signs if I hear them.
Thanks again,
Steve | |
