Hi Johnboy, thought I'd say hi. Im a new member here myself and it does seem pretty quiet here these days. I'm not sure anyone is monitoring the call sign request thread so I would just choose a number that hasn't been requested and away you go. I chose 26-TM-924, as no one was using it. I notice 26TM 2024 is available so you could use that? Or just use 26-TM-Johnboy if you wanted to! Just add it in the Tango Mike Membership Requests 2023 thread and hope for the best!

Hope you have fun - it is a blast contacting (or I believe the term is 'working') a station in another country. It all seems like chaos to start with, but listen on 27.555 USB or 26.275 or 285 LSB and you'll soon grasp what's going on.
