The FCC took my money on Sunday but still don't have a call sign 

With that out of the way, I'm very interested in giving this a go.  I have a walkie and have tried connecting to my local repeater (Anacom in Waukegan IL) with the proper ctcss and no dice.

Scanning with my SDR, I found a TON of traffic which appears to be coming from the Crystal Lake repeater.  Is this the proper forum to ask for permission to use this?  My apologies if I'm way off here.

 

Thanks all!

call sign isn't issued immediately, application and fee need to go though the process, may take a week or two for your call sign to appear. took mine about two weeks. they send an email informing me my call sign was issued. keep checking fcc website and being patient...its government..lol
