Hi, My name is Dave and I am 52 years old. I started CB radio when I was 13 Years old. I stopped 2 years later... I don't remember why I stopped but now I like to come back and I saw the nice video's on youtube how to come back on the 11 meters. I like to join CT DX Group. I am still looking for some good gear, but it won't take long now. I would like a CT callsign to try and reach you guys in the UK.
greetings from Dave.

Welcome Dave. It's certainly possible to make contact between the UK and Netherlands when the skip is short-distance in the summer, but there is a very active group of DXers on SSB there who I am sure you will come across if you tune around.
