Hi,
Stuart here, age 42. computer programmer from a farming background and also a licenced drone pilot.
Have been using CBs since the age of 5 on the farm. Had a home base rig at my parents house, a 5/8 wave silver rod mounted on a 20 foot pole at the top of the chimney stack in a small remote village on the south coast during the 90s until I discovered cars and girls.
After learning that girls are nothing but trouble I'm back in the radio world. I've just ordered loads of kit to build a new home base so will be back on the airwaves very soon. I already have a new wide band rig in my work truck so plan to get on some high hills and see what I can do.
My CB handle was/still is "The Pineapple Chunk", had it since the 90s beaming out from the purbeck hills near core castle in Dorset back in the day.
Would appreciate a callsign so I can get involved.
Cheers Stuart

Thanks for the warm welcome chaps.
I'm planning to park on a big hill this evening for a proper play with my new wide band rig.
