Good evening everyone
As, like many members it seems. Returning to the cb fold after MANY years away.
Bought a crt millenium & a little will with view to using it on trips to vw shows around the country earlier in the year but Covid put paid to that!
Not too many folks on up here, so just ordered a 6900n & a thunderpole galaxy so i can get out a bit further from the house (never used ssb before so that will be interesting!)
Original kit in the old cortina was a K40 and a Fidelity rig (can't remember the model) but used to get out pretty well with that....wishing i'd at least kept the k40 now
Can I please have a call sign & hopefully when i'm set up, I can chat to some of you
Bill

Hi Bill,
Welcome to Charlie Tango DX.
Good luck with your SSB venture. It can all be a bit 'Donald Duck & Mickey Mouse' sounding to start with but once you get used to using the clarify tuning and turning off the squelch you'll soon see the advantages.
All the best, Victor

Many thanks for the welcome guys
Been looking through the forums for the past few weeks and thought it was about time I joined. So many experienced members with a wealth of helpful info and advice...seemed daft not too!
Hopefully I can add a bit to the collective now and then....
