Close. The accepted radio procedure-not a rule but a way to keep everyone on the same page-. Is to say the station you are calling then your own call sign. For example if I were trying to contact you, I would say 
"WQYY816, WQYQ485"
 
You would answer by saying
 
"WQYQ485, WQYY816 go ahead"
 
Then every 10 minutes....
 
"WQYY816"
 
Then when you are done with that conversation..
 
"WQYY816, clear"

Hey everyone, so I'm new to GMRS and I just finished the install of the Midland MXT115 into my overlanding rig last night. My overlanding partner and I bought the radios for truck to truck coms during our trips. I'm a bit confused as to what I'm required to do before broadcasting. I know that using the GMRS is a bit like HAM but being that I'm more knowledgeable with CB and that I haven't ever used GMRS or HAM before, I'm kinda lost. Anyone wanna point me in the right direction? Maybe a thread or website I can read the procedures on how to use the airways properly? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,
 
Recently got my license. Have been listening to my local Long Island repeater on 462.6750MHz for last few months and there is this one annoying person who blocks up the entire channel at times more than half a day simply playing key tones, recently music and rebroadcasting random stuff.  There are veteran users who are super annoyed and it really boggles my mind that this is apparently have been happening for years!
 
Is there nothing anyone can do to stop such non-sense? First of all 462.6750MHz is listed as "Unofficial emergency/traveler assistance channel (PL 141.3)" second it flouts all rules on the book.
 
Wondering if a few local folks can track this offender down by his power output and directional antennas and triangulating his position.

pfactor here saying hello and checking in for my myGMRS.com maiden voyage. I look forward to learning while interacting.
Thanking you in advance for providing this opportunity,
