I'm not entirely sure I'm typing in the right place, (apologies if not) here goes. Like many I have been off the air for many years, my rig stares at me in the garage and I've been meaning to reconnect for ages, my first rig was bought several months after FM became legal, I enjoyed the banter but found the overcrowded London airwaves a little frustrating. I am thinking of investing in some more up to date equipment and hope I can pick a few brains along the way. Looking forward to reconnecting with the outside world "old school" !!!!

Thanks guys, seems to be a very positive group, would a Charlie Tango call sign be allocated automatically or do I need to specifically request one? Thanks in advance. CHUFFER
