Hello! I'm in a similar situation. I passed my exam back in '09, but am just getting into ham radio now.

For now I'm just a HT user. Here's what I do:

  • Legal? Consult your local laws. (It is in FL)
  • As for "channels", pick up a copy of the ARRL's repeater directory and use it to pre-program information about your local repeaters into your radio memory. The national simplex calling frequencies are also handy to program in. (146.520 & 432.10) From there, I just put the HT into auto memory scan mode. Helps to keep the eyes on the road.

  • In my area it seems to be a group of 'regulars' who talk at certain times of the day, but there's always more people listening than you might think, so go ahead and call out! :D

  • What do you talk about? Anything! Really! Weather, sports, Anything goes.

  • How do you introduce yourself? Just say, CALLSIGN-X (optional: + mobile, portable, etc.) monitoring, listening, anyone out there?, etc.

  • As for breaking into the repeater to those who know each other well and whatnot, I'm still working on that; I get the sense they've talked on those repeaters since the day they were erected and they just aren't used to noobies.
