Hi Victor,

I hope you and yours are well buddy. Many thanks to you mate for your invaluable contributions to the forum. We are only as good as our members!!! Stay safe.

Hi Gary,

You too mate, hope you and family are keeping well.

In a topsy-turvy world the old radio & bits of wire in the loft have been a mental lifesaver, but sometimes let down when the skip fails or the "5/9, 73s, QRZ" responses crackle back from the speaker.

The Charlie Tango forum is my "Radio No.2" go to. No QSB, always a lovely reception and often great QSOs

I don't think you guys comprehend how much your work is appreciated and the thanks you truly deserve.

All the best, stay safe.
Victor

Really handy to have the data panel in the banner, thanks! And for all the other stuff too.

It should work fine. I'll test it again though if your having trouble

Works fine for me

Good work, Lee.

Wow.! I thought for a moment I was on a different website. No seriously guy's you've done a fantastic job with the forum. Love the new layout and the propagation chart thing at the top, I just need to learn how to read it. Perhaps there's a dummies guide somewhere in the forum. I haven't looked yet.
I second everything Victor said.
Outstanding job guys. Big thanks to all concerned.
Cheers
Stay safe

All good this end Vic, I'm really surprised how many people have returned back to the hobby during lock down, we've enjoyed a massive membership surge.

Thanks Vic, we all do this because of our love of the wireless mate. I just wish I had a little more time to be on the radio.

I'll keep this one brief because I have to be at work for 5:30 tomorrow morning. No rest for the wicked as they say!! Stay safe Vic.

Is there any reason why the "Solar Terrestrial Data and Band Condition info" panel is stuck at 18th Jun on my home PC but is updated correctly on my samsung tablet?

I have logged out and back in to the forum, deleted the site from my bookmarks and still the solar info panel shows 18th June on my PC.

Mine (on my PC) says 22nd June, 19.11 GMT.

All OK for now , I've cleared my browsing data and cookies and am now back up to date at 28 June 2020 1354 GMT

It seems I have to clear my browsing data every time before I log in if I want to see a updated "Solar Terrestrial Data and Band Condition info" panel

well done Lee its just like the old Charlie Tango again and every time switch on the pc is
the first place I go again,

see the chat box has gone again

Gone? There is one there.

I'm currently working on the coding for a good one

Hi Lee,

Chatbox log in seems vastly improved, but anything you can do about the auto log out which seems to be about every 15 minutes or so ?

keep up the good work.
