Hi
Our little group is still running twice a day on 27.305 USB. 6.30am-7am mornings and 4-5pm afternoons.
It can get a bit busy and TBH we don leave enough gaps (trying hard on that one) so sorry in advance but we do call out for QSK's.
We have been heard across the UK and in Germany, Holland Italy etc.
Have a listen for us.
Cheers.

Having been up on the net a few times myself now whole heartedly agree with Barry CT-3260 above, if your around early morning or late afternoon why not drop in. Some of us stay on freq till mid evening when it's not quite so busy. 73s to all Steve CT-3239

Afternoon all,
Well, I have my new Mc Kinley set up, but only on a 1/4 wave for now.... I have ordered a Solarcon A99 but am stuck with the 1/4 at approx 20' for the next month or so.
Is anyone close to Epping Forest / Harlow? Put out a call today after 4, but not sure I am getting out far at all........

Pleasure to meet you on here Fred, been binge watching your youtube channel mate, you've made me press the nuke button on a CRT Superstar SS-7900 and whole host of other bits and bobs from Knights LOL! Last time I was on CB was 1987! The missus has gone nuts (told her to get back in the kitchen..... after I walked out of the room and went outside of course)

Fred in the shed.
Hi Fred,well like a LOT of people I watch your videos and really like watching thank's.
I listen every morning and afternoon on the 305 I have only been on once and spoke to to Pucker Dave, Awesome dave,Andy,Chris, I think I may have spoken to you briefly.
I normally just listen on the side as I tend to get a bit mic shy. I am pretty new to CB as I wasn't into it in the 80's. I have spoken to Awesome at length on FM 22, and really would like to contact him through Facebook/Twitter or some means. I did a search on ZELLO as I know Awesome has a group on there. I searched for anc33 and found someone with that I.D. but no contact yet.
If you DO know how I can contact Awesome online I would really appeciate it if you could let me know, thank's

Wish we had a net round our 20 it's boring I know there are some stations about here but most are reluctant to say hello shame really. I sometimes go static mobile high ground weather pending of coarse and try start a net on 11 m at the weekend It's only us diehards still using the rigs as most have people use the internet even HF has gone quite.

Good bunch of guys on in morning and chat most mornings between 5.30 and 7 am. I struggle a bit with QRM and noise in evening so very hard to get a QSO but have heard you on Fred around 4 PM. Like everyone else love your vids on You Tube and you do the hobby a great service so good job there. Hope to speak with you soon Fred, 73's

Thank you for hearing and acknowledging my station this morning on the 305 net. Made my day to be able to make the trip down there all the way from Lincolshire. Happy DXing this Weekend All! Wally 26-CT-4630 21/05/23 Tried again today but conditions not as good as yesterday. Could gear CT061 unfortunately he could not hear me. No one else on that I could hear or who would answer my calls at that time in the morning. 27,555 very quiet. Still, I am pleased that the new base set up is picking up stations that distant and if not regularly, at times I can transmit that far. The Sirio 2016 working well for me so far!

It is a friendly and very active net.When I am in the area, I often call-in with my handheld - although only a couple of people can hear me.

I try most days from my home base in Nuneaton Warks, but never seem to get any results. I'm down to Hertford next weekend so will bring my mobile kit and give you a try. Cheers all.
