The Charlie Tango DX Group in North Yorkshire are holding a DX Field Day on the 28th May 2010.

As a neighboring DX group from the TM HQ we are proud to help promote the event and hope the TM members will also be on air over the bank holiday weekend making contact with the CT guys.

For further details please visit http://www.charlietango.co.uk/ or contact “Firetrap” over on the Transmission1 Forums.

Good DX guys!

Lifetime memberships are now available to the TM PO Box Service!

Tango Mike group is making some changes in the way that the PO Box service operates that will benefit many more members and hopefully encourage people to give the PO Box service a try for their DX activities. We suggest that you read through the following notes to understand how the changes can benefit you as a new or existing member.

For a reasonable one-off fee of just £7.00 you can now join the PO Box Service and this is all you need to pay. No annual fee, no redirection credits (subject to a fair use policy).

For existing members past and present, an automatic upgrade to lifetime membership is free of charge and you have already been changed over to the new service!

If you’ve been wanting to join a PO Box number for a while or simply put it off then there’s never been a better time to do this than now.

For full details please refer to the this page:

Any questions please feel free to contact me and I will try to help

Delboy Enterprises have announced another DX Event for users of CB Radio and PMR-446. In the past these events have been very popular and many operators have turned out on the hill tops to make long distance contacts. You don’t need to go mobile to enjoy the events but it helps! The main thing is taking part and being on the air.

As usual 27.555 MHz USB is the main 11m calling frequency and for those who prefer the FM side of things Channel 25 UK and 25 EU (CEPT) will be in use. On the PMR-446 side of things Channel 8 with no CTCSS is a good start for hill topping.

We hope that TM members will be active over the Easter Bank Holiday on the 12th/13th April 2009 and we’ll be listening out for you.

For further details please visit: http://www.delboyenterprises.co.uk/ – a very good website indeed!

We have launched a new picture hosting gallery for Tango Mike members wanting to display their QSL cards.

It can be found at: http://gallery.tangomike.net/

Here you can upload QSL cards, pictures of your radio gear and shack and anything else related to the DX hobby. To have your own account on here you’ll need to email simon@transmission1.co.uk and ask for an account. Naturally you must be a Tango Mike member in order to have access to these features but it’s yet another FREE service for our members.

Enjoy!

Tango Mike is pleased to announce that we have agreed a scheduled net on 27.535 MHz USB every Sunday between 18.30-21.30 UTC (19.30-22.30 BST) for all UK members. It’s a great opportunity to try and contact fellow members of the group, especially more so if you are mobile and plan to head off towards the hill tops like quite a number of our dedicated people! If you manage to make contact with anyone on the net frequency then please do post your comments under this article so we can see how successful you have been and what distances are achievable – particularly as we are mainly working flat band with the low conditions of the present time.
