Trying to get permission to talk on the repeaters

[Guest Anthony]

Just received my license today and trying to get my 1st call out.

Welcome to myGMRS.

Within a few days after you have had your license, myGMRS should recognize it when you try to add it to your account. At that point you should gain the ability to request permission from repeater owners for access to their repeaters.

Enjoy.

Couple things here to the guys that JUST got their license and are trying to make a contact.

First.. POST YOUR CALL SIGN.

Second .. POST YOUR GENERAL LOCATION

If we don't know who you are and where you are then we can't really assist you with where an unlisted repeater might be.

You could be our neighbor and we don't have any idea.

My call is my user name here.  But that is easily converted to Keith Foor and my address since the FCC posts that info.

Once we know where you are we can tell you about repeaters that you can access if we are in the same area and any specific programming that they might require.

Any updates on the lowered License fees?

Any updates on the lowered License fees?

Although approved, no change expected until the FCC gets their systems updated to support the new process and fee for amateur radio. I have heard no specific date it will take affect.
