Hello all.
I'm Rui, from Vila de Prado - Portugal. I started the CB activity only in offroad context some years ago. At this moment I'm digging a bit in to it, with a SSB possibility with a President McKinley radio. For now only working in the car but the base at home is under construction. I'm looking forward for some DX contacts with you all.
I'm requesting a callsign for my DX activity.
Thank you. Rui Marques

Hi Rui,
Welcome to Charlie Tango DX.
Callsigns are usually issued pretty fast, (a day or two), but please bear in mind that admin are volunteers and as such sometimes there are delays at weekends.
Sounds like you're off to a good start with your CB, the President McKinley is a nice radio and I wish you the best with your homebase setup.
All the best, Victor
