Sorry about the title, figured it would draw your attention
The best way to "pop your cherry" is to just hit the PTT and toss out your callsign.
Why did you learn and invest in getting your license, if you are not going to use it?
Heck me, I ragchew all the time.
I do remember my first time getting my license, and was nervous at first. I was listening to a few ragchew, and i was like "man I want to join in but didn't want to interupt their conversation" so i waited until they were saying their 73. Then tossed out my callsign.
I then made my first two contacts that day
Now a days, during a conversation I toss out my callsign and they reply. And we get a round table going. Makes it more fun. Its nice for a one on one, but a roundtable, is priceless.
So long story short, just pop on 146.520 (national simplex) or a local repeater and toss out your call sign.
Whats the worst thing that can happen? No one reply LOL
The best thing, you made a contact and ragchew
You earned your license, put it to use.
