Hi All

Returning back to CB (11 meters). I started back on CB in August 2019, prior to that I used to be on the Auntie Mary (AM) back in 1979 and started on legal CB (FM) on day One when 27/81 was legalised in 1981. Stayed with CB until the late 1980's and packed up and sold most of my CB gear (a considerable amount of gear !). 2 House moves later and its 2019, (some 30+ years later) went up in the loft to search for something and came across a box with a few CB 'twigs' in, a couple of PSU's and a Uniden 100 and some RG58 coax. The 'twigs' were an AK47 base loaded coil mobile antenna, a Half Breed base loaded coil whip antenna and a DV27.

That was the start of my return to CB radio, I bought a Sirio Boomerang A for homebase use (later to be replaced by a Sirio GPE 5/8 wave) and a Thunderpole T800 80 channel rig along with a TTI 881 80 channel rig. A s/h Uniden 200 arrived to be the mobile rig for DX'ing.

Passed my Ham Radio Foundation Licence study

in Jan 2020 cheers

. I'm now active on 70cms, 2m, 6m, 10m using the Yaesu FT8900R and the Superstar 6900 on 10m SSB and 11m (CB).

Well done on passing you intermediate exam, David.
