Charlie Tango North West DX Net - 14th July 2013

A return to the summit of Pendle Hill, East Lancashire for the Charlie Tango North West DX Net, which was to be the first net to be hled in the North West under the Charlie Tango banner. Craig AKA Sid The Cat, agreed to host the event to see what interest it would attract from Charlie Tango members in the North West of England.

I couldn't have imagined the events that would unfold over this sunny afternoon on the CB airwaves...

Was great to make contact with Gary (26CTX104) north of Swansea, over 140miles and Roy (104CT011) in Corsica, over 950 miles away
