Generally speaking, most repeaters have a user base, you will often hear the same group going on and on all day/night long depending on where you're at. They frequently have BBQ's, dinners and other social events for "eyeball QSO's" you just need to hang out long enough to have someone let you know when one is coming up. I've been to more than a few of them since getting my ticket, yea, you get a pretty good cross section of people depending on where you are.
Yeah we got our tickets about 20 yrs ago and were pretty active on them.
I liked the nice clean comms with the 2m. Played with the 440, but too restrictive. I was sick of low band noise. 2m is versatile and even good on local simplex.
I was just curious how many on the forums would have some comm ability if ever needed.
A few mobiles can be set up as repeaters also.
