Hi Everyone.
I am a long-time CB user, originally from South Africa, now living in France.
I trained as an Aircraft Radio Tech and now do private tinkerings on all kinds of radio equipment in my secret underground lab.
I found this forum when looking for information on refitting burned out 2SC1969's with MOSFETs.
Thanks for all the useful information and hilarious exchanges I have seen here.

Welcome, there are lots of cool radios sold in france. Seems like the 11 meter band is pretty active over there.
Hi Enterprise.
Yes it's still a pretty well liked hobby here. Sadly I don't speak French all that well so I mostly have comms with English and German speakers. Luckily there's enough people in Europe that are multilingual.

I've just picked up a cheap Superstar 360, which was marketed in the USA as a Cobra 148GTL-DX. I'm pretty excited to look it over in my radio lab and get it back into top working order.

73 and thanks for the warm welcome!
