What I mean is...I listen to local repeaters and there are people who are familiar with each other. It's like they are in clubs together or friends. There (clicks), I put out a CQ a few times but no come back. I don't except people to coddle me, but a reply to a new ham would be nice. How can I fit in? Maybe I picked the wrong hobby, I'm glad I didn't put a lot of money into my new rig, FT-2800M.
