Ive had a few messages asking about delays in CT call signs. Please be patient with the guys why they update member lists. Link : CT forum. charlietangodxg...
I've been a member of CT since Feb 2010 and back then it was brilliant then when they had to change over to the Taptalk crap it totally mess up the whole system, now there with this server new it's a bit better but in the change over there was a awful lot of info lost and it's taking some time to retrieve this is one reason there is a back log on everything, plus as you know it's run by unpaid volunteers who also have there own business's and jobs and families which TBH come first plus also a couple of admin have stepped down because of the commitments mentioned, so please bear with them it's not the admins fault Thankyou.
@@glynnhm0lsg308 I remember you too Glynn, I'm the same TBH I don't go on the forum hardly at all and I hardly use the radio now , acationally I listen to the 305 net what Fred goes on but very seldom, or if any of my local mates text me and ask to test radios with them theres nothing on now worth listening to if anything is actually on now which there isn't , I can remember I use to get slagged off on the forum for saying that CB is slowly dying out, well I've been around CB radio for too long (started in 1975) to not know the signs so I don't really want to say this to the ones that said I don't know what I'm talking about, but I will, I TOLD YOU SO. 😉
@@NUBBY39 hi Mr Nubby, been a while, I never rejoined CT seemed to lose all interest in forums. Still go on the radio mobile every now and then in the taxi. Hope all you guys are doing well 73
@@26tm9999 Cant speak for others but I'm not too bad thanks for asking, TBH I'm losing interest in all of it in a way ,its just isn't the same how it was radio and the forums ,as I said I still acationally use my radio but no way as much as I use too ,doubt if I would sell it all though cos you never know it might get good again lol 😉 knowing my luck it would if sell all my stuff lol
Well put Fred and well done for posting this with that cold! I'm returning to all this after a long break and it's been great that there's still a bunch of friendly people willing to help each other out. I'm also waiting for a call sign but understand the issues involved and will wait patiently. Cheers for such a good channel.
I was a early member and Moderator of the Charlie tangos , It was a well run and very good site , Then group politics and various site changes made it the mess it is today ... Sad really , As it was once very good 👍 ..... Madmark1
I offered to help, I had an old forum and offered to turn it into exactly what the old CT site was but was sadly turned down. I never rejoined the new one although I have fond memories of making friends on there. I still use the CT call sign if I hear others. CT-1523

You gentlemen have a good thing going there across the pond, wished we had that here in the states! There are groups here but nowhere as professional and respectful as you have.
Hi Fred, thanks for the nice words in the video. It's been a tough old time trying to get the new forum up and working. Lots goes on behind the scenes, it all costs time and money and indeed its my hobby and not my primary job and with 5 kids it's hard to find free time. Lots of new features added in the last few days, I've also FINALLY figured out how to make our official domain name function correctly. The link you shared still works but we encourage people to use www.charlietango.co.uk to access the forum. The forum takes lots of time and the admins and moderators are an amazing group of dedicated people who give their time for free and they deserve all the credit for the forums day to day running. I just build and finance it and hide in the admin panel pulling hair out trying to make codes, scripts and other things work. Thanks again and hope everyone enjoys the new forum.

@@CB-RADIO-UK thanks mate. Just had a big overhaul today. Got loads done and the site back to how it should be. Hope to see you on there sometime. Don't be a stranger
hi,from rotterdam spoke to peaple in scotland and sweden,easily but only for around 2 hours,from 12 till round 2pm, on the 27.555 usb,but good fun while it lasted,19 charlie tango 022 .
Tapatalk is pure rubbish, and I am very appreciative of the fact that CT severed the ties. Having a call sign like CT is very handy, it simplifies things a lot when making contacts. Cheers, 20CT011.
Hi I joined today and got a email saying you're basically now joined to the Charlie tango group. So do you know what happens now and how I get the call sign. Tia
Ey up Fred I've got a tango Mike call sign 659 maybe people should try them ? But a bit of patience is needed with getting one. Get well soon steve, wolves
@@CB-RADIO-UK well he had change his job which was a lot more hours plus family commitments equals not a lot a time to do CT admin stuff so he decided to step down which as you say is shame ,cos I remember when he first joined lol, on another subject I will admit the forum is no way as active as it was back pre Taptalk times and even at Taptalk times , one I think it's just cos of what I mentioned about commitments plus radio is not as active as was now cos of conditions and people are not that interested ATM because of it
@@NUBBY39 Thanks for the kind comments chaps. I always did my very best for the place, but along with less spare time, I also saw the place heading in a direction which was not favourable. I put 2 to 3 hours a day, every single day into the place, trying to do almost everything myself, and it was quite draining, but I have no regrets, I enjoyed it at the time. I'm proud to say I issued several call-signs every day for years, and nobody had to wait more than 24 hours for one, and the call-sign list grew ten-fold in my administration.
@@DjNikGnashers Yep mate I know you put a lot of effort in Nik to the forum and you was very much appreciated, but as you say it's gone totally in different direction TBH it's about as interesting on there now sometimes as watching paint dry ,theres only a few of us that actually post on there ,half the members post stuff where they want in wrong sections even when we explain how to post and where ,also alot asked the same question over and over but they tell everyone that they have been in to CB radio for years and years then ask stuff like how do I SWR a antenna or what do I call out on the calling channel to get a copy, and Gary the guy who took your job of call sign allocations has to hunt around the forum for call requests because people cant see the section for New Members Introductions and the rules for applying for a call sign that's in BIG RED LETTERS, in others words they cant be bothered to read and look, theres is a few other things about the forum but I'm not gonna say ,let's say its no way in million years like how it was in the early days of Charlie Tango forum. P.S. But don't let my comments put people off joining .
@TerryG7wrs I doubt it, unless you was a member of the original German Charlie Tango radio club which was about then,because this UK CT dx forum everyone is talking didn't start until 2009
I’m only saying I think I was it’s over 35 years. I joined loads of clubs back then Alpha Charlie, Anglo America Magna Carta, Cobra Operator’s Club, Dragon rider, FIstral bay DX club just to name some.
@@TerryG7wrs I wasn't having a dig at you if you thought I was, I just making a comment mate,, I myself can remember radio/cb clubs before internet forums before internet infact lol.

I thought I would add something about Charlie Tango DX forum, TBH don't bother joining, it's become full of Political Correct people who don't like the truth being siad about anything or going against anything that they say ie: some of the Admin ,I was a loyal member and supporter with CT for over 10years and was proud of my CT call sighn but not no more , I was banned by Admin members that have only been Admin members for less than two years because I disagreed with one of them by telling them some home truths, TBH how they became Admin that quick I have no idea , back in the old days of CT the forum had many heated discussions and we all was grown up to accept criticism and all apologised if it upset anyone and all mates again, but this new 5min newbie type Admins seem to have got a power craze on and seem to be turning the forum in to what they want ,a totally P.C type of forum where nobody can have opinions or go against there opinions and TBH are slowly ruining the forum, so basically if you are the type of person who is a sheep and do as your told go and join it if not and you have a mind of your own stay away , and make up your own call sighn and just enjoy your radio, IMHO CT forum is now about as useful as a chocolate teapot ex CT member CT050 whos going back being a true radio pirate who doesn't need a forum.
