Hi all, I'm Phil from West Lavington, 5 miles South of Devizes. Started on CB back in 1981 on a WT2 2 channel handset (14 & 30) and walked around the neighborhood making contacts. After a while I upgraded to a Harvard 410T 40 channel handset. Then after getting the bug I got my first rig which was a Fidelity 2001 and a 18' center fed dipole then shortly after that bought a Ham International Concorde 2 with the legal FM channels board modification installed. Still have both the mobile rigs and after 30+ years in the loft they still work today. Now I have just got back into the hobby and I'm running the SS6900 v7 and a K-PO mic shooting out of a Sigma Venom 5/8 wave Silver rod mounted on a 20' mast.
Would love to ask to be accepted for a CT callsign as it appears everybody I hear is a Charlie Tango and I think it's time to leave my CB handle BBM behind and make new contacts.
73's
Phil.

Hi Phil,
Welcome to Charlie Tango.
Great introduction there and really good to hear about your radio history. I hope your return to it all is a rewarding experience and wish you good DX.
Your profile is complete ready for call sign allocation so just keep an eye on this posting for when our admin Gary issues you.
It's always good to hear Charlie Tango call signs on the airwaves and a pleasure to add another operator to the call sign list.
All the best, Victor

Hi Steve, Thanks for the welcome. I'm looking forward to making new contacts once I get my call sign issued. My village is quite low down in a dip but I have been receiving continentals clear as a bell (already thinking of upgrading to a beam). And the 27.305 I can faintly hear the guys over in London 75 miles away as the crows fly.
Regards
Phil
