Hi. Tom.
Welcome to CT. They're a good bunch on here. If u need help or advice just post in relevant topic. I too started on CB in mid '70s after McCall Convoy. Although I have been in Ham radio since '59 I had a Qso y'day on Homesteaders net with Dave PD02 on the Lickeys. There are plenty of high places around Brum. Good luck. 73's (10-10) Mike. SW.
