Introduction/callsign request (Issued)

Hi!
I'm Richard, back in the day I was known as Canobeer in and around Leicester.
In those days, I used a 901, then a CBX, then a NATO 2000

In those days I was mainly active am/fm and my favourite sport was winding up Buzby, once taking part in a search for myself... 

Many years later, I'm a full-license ham mainly active on 17m, 20m ssb, but looking to come back home to 11m alongside that now we're starting to get a little bit of sunspot activity again.
My rig of choice isn't fashionable - an FT-840 - but the simple controls are so much easier for me to operate as I'm partially-sighted these days.
Current ham-band aerial is an off centre fed dipole for 10/12/15/17/20m but my atu can load it up for 11m too
I'll add a vertical for 11m local work in due course. I'm in the middle of commuter-land where such things are frowned upon so I may have to figure out a stealthy solution

Hello Richard, welcome to the forum.

I am delighted to allocate you 26-CT-4836 may you have good luck with it.

Thank you, Gary.
I'll do that, and participate here too.

You're more than welcome Richard.

I'm a foreigner in the Midlands these days I'm originally from S.E. London Crystal Palace area. I'm still a member at C.P.R.&.E Club and B.D.A.R.S. (Bromley) sadly I don't make the meetings very often.

There used to be quite an active contingency on the 11 meter band in the Croydon, Reigate and Sutton area so you're in with a reasonable chance. 11 meter DX is not dissimilar to 10 meters now with some excellent radio operators working the free band around 27.555 MHz.

All the best 73's Gary.

Hello and welcome, Richard.

73s John.

Hi Richard, welcome to the CTDX Group, I'm just up the road from you at Tolworth so hope to catch you on the air
