Hello there,
Thanks for running this forum. I used to have CB's 20 years ago for about 10 years. I recently started in the hobby again and just upgraded my antenna to a Sirio Gain master hopping to work some DX. I was also thinking about starting a Meetup group to see if I can get some locals interested in CB.
Could I get one of those awesome Charlie Tango call sign?
Stay radioactive,
Crow - TX (for now)

Hi and Welcome to Charlie Tango.
As StevieG has already helpfully pointed out you'll need to fill your profile in to obtain a call sign. Just click on the 'Profile' button at the top of the site when you are next logged in.
Starting a CB meet up group sounds like a great idea.
All the best to you there in the States, Victor

Thank you steveG & Victor. I appreciate the feedback and the virtual hospitality. I just updated my profile to include my name. I'm going to listen around now that I know i have w descent equipment to see if there are people around me. If not, I'm going to try to get some momentum going with social media. It would be rad to have CB back in this area. Thanks again.
73, Ernesto
