Good day everyone, introduction....
Dan here, just got back into the hobby after a 14yr absence. I was a member of another DX group but only active for a few months but on returning after all this time that group seems to have fizzled out.
Like some here, I've always loved radio since my introduction in the 80s to CB. To get me back in the swing I've purchased a Lincoln 2+ and made a dipole for 11m...just listening at present until I feel confident enough to get going without irritating anyone.
Tips/Help very VERY welcome please
Foundation licence exam on the cards too.
Dan

Hi Dan and welcome to CTdx. Many on here have returned to radio after a long time away myself after 26 or 27 years. Also went for the Ham licence like many others and love all the extra bands.
