I have been a ham for a little over five years now. I remember when I was first licensed, I couldn’t wait to get on the air. I had my radio’s programed, and I jumped on the Winsystem and I was on my way. I quickly realized that I did not fit in with any of the clicks that were on most repeaters in my area. I fit in with the misfits. So, I made my way over to the world famous 147.435. That was now my home. Also, yes it took some time to be welcomed. There is an intonation process that one must suffer before you can talk and be fully welcomed. But it was not that bad. This is a pretty good user group, and these people protect that repeater and all the users on it. So, this episode delves a bit into this and some other things that you may find once you are licensed.
