Hi I am looking at returning to CB Radio since last using one back in the 1980s , so I thought I'd check things out and was guided here after watching a Youtube channel called "Fred in the shed".
My last CB was a Harrier and I'm now interested to see how things have progressed?
I'm from Manchester and it's good to be here.

Hi there I'm new myself and it was also Fred in a shed that got me here and also watching his videos convinced me to get my set up:lol!: . There are plenty or people on here to give you advice and don't forget to ask for a call sign on here (you'll need to fill in your name and location) Good luck 73's Glen 26CT3856

Nice one Gary
Glad you're enjoying the forum, posting questions and getting a friendly response. It's a nice place to be.
Our Mr Gary Wilson who issues callsigns has been rather busy elsewhere recently but will be back soon to catch up with requests. He'll respond here and also fill out your profile with a spangly new callsign
Enjoy that new radio when it comes.
All the best, Victor
