Thank you for posting your videos. Very inspirational to operators who cannot have big stations and big antennas. You have done very good with your little radio and little antenna. Well done!

I recognise people in the 'ch34' video, they are not too far from my QTH.

Hello babis3g,Sorry I didn’t return your call as I did not hear you due to noise on that frequency today and once a few stations start calling together it gets confusing and hard work picking out a clear signal.I ‘m not sure exactly where that repeater is on 26.965 (ch3) mids fm,But I have spoken to so many 18 divisions on it I’m thinking it’s somewhere definitely in Greece.
I’ve spoken too Thomas in Birmingham a few times and also 18CT813 Chris and I’ll also be listening for 18CT006 too,hopefully radio propagation will improve as your working conditions work the repeater very well.
Before I had the Sirio yagi beam I use now I used a Sirio gpa 5/8 wave and they are both fantastic antenna’s and I worked all around the world on mine,You will be surprised just how good they are.
Thanks Babis3g the video was fantastic and hope to QSO on the bands very soon. 73’s
26CT4029.  Tom in London
After so long heard him all year sometimes around, managed to talk for short time with Thomas, he was S4 to 4 but his S dropped to S1 till he was lost (of course he lost me early)...i was 5 to 9...he also spoke with Chris (while Thomas had S1) but could heard Chris only few seconds very low...
Thomas told me was in Corfu few times...no sure if heard me as was telling him i also was near Birmingham but Wolverhampton because around this time propagation dropped, thanks

EDIT EU40 band ch35 must be in use by PASIXERA for their zelo app because i heard some one saying how may Greeks & which ones are online

today at ch20 Eu midband was trying to activate the Swedish repeater (i did few times) & heard a UK station which i replied, did not get his call sign (was a bit of QRM in the channel) but once he replied back saying something about my boomerang, UK Thomas appeared & cut him off, so i carried on talking with Thomas (once had stronger signal) but i mentioned was an other one from UK ... reason i am posting is to say Sorry to the other UK station if he ever will read this ... thanks

today at 27.200 managed to be heard at Kazan Russia (Alex) with FM for me is about 1.700 miles distance & also some one from Russia Moscow saying bye bye, sure i 've been reached there as well ... was about 6-7 persons chatting ... one is repeating Boomerang antenna so my guess he is also using the same because he added word vertical ... seems they do not speak English languages so my contact was very short but just enough to know i have been so far with low power & smaller antenna


ΕDIT...Νice of them when they heard something far they stop chatting each other to let me pass in

You are doing a very good job given these seem to be FM contacts as well.

It's amazing what can be done with a few watts and a small size antenna.

It could be Finnish, or one of the countries up there, Latvia/Estonia. They did not seem very friendly.

I'd say Finnish too, only going by the way they say 'yes/yeah' a few times, recognise from a friend I used to written roleplay game with online. I'd struggle with almost all other words, could be to do with drugs, cars, but probably neither.

Speak nicely to Glen (glen dog 56-CT-004) and ask if he can translate Smile

ΕDITED

Τhanks for reply, forgot to update ... are Romanians some kind of info traffic channel (perhaps that is why seems not so friendly, seems when there is propagation they have too much, i understand) but lately propagation brings them far ... the day after i did catch them again & one told me to go away freq is for info traffic, then asked him which country & replied Romania ... perhaps that is why above video they told me can hear me but they discussing something ... same day after me was Bulgarian dxing on the channel seems also told him to move (did not record the Bulgarian dxing)



Few days ago & today managed to talk with few Italians ... 
Also for first time managed to talk with Greeks Athens & Piraeus,EU40 band ... to this direction the Boomerang was right at the back (Boomerang facing about UK with down ground pole up to about 35 degree, so right back of the Boomerang is Athens) if matters because this antenna seems little directional, how ever seems works & at the back of it .... they will not hear me all times had to repeat few words but could be & the propagation because after a minute i lost them as well

Ohh, Romania. Well I guessed that very wrong then, I need to retune my ears lol Embarassed I searched Romanian CB radio info traffic and found the below link. It looks they used channel 22 just like CB in the "old days", like in the Smokey and the Bandit movies, to watch out for the police Laughing

www.reddit.com/r/Romania/comments/15mq2wb/cb_radio_on_cars/

Well done on the Italian contacts, CB radio skip has been good for the last few days.

LOL nice finding  Wink i have heard them few good times by now & was wondering what kind of info is, once are so many on this specific channel ... can't complain perhaps sound not friendly, but i guess is the altitude of the foreigners (including me in some cases)  ... the person explained is info traffic & said PLEASE go way, also replied the country which i asked

Today here the bands are almost dead till now
