I am new to GMRS and I am an active ham operator being a disabled veteran I have time during the day to talk. Looking for an active repeater to use in Chicago I got permission to use PL-600 but nobody answers my calls. Is there an active GMRS repeater in Chicag people are talking and holding conversations? I can even attempt to get users from my radio club I am a net control for a couple of ham nets. I just want a place that is comfortable and easy to talk on what repeater are you Chicagoans talking on?. WSDD265
