Any Coral Springs / Fort Lauderdale GMRS users here?

[WSCD723]

So I just got into GMRS but there are very few people chatting on those frequencies where I live (Coral Springs) and work (Fort Laderdale, Citrix building at Powerline / Cypress).

I would love to chat with someone on my way to work (usually around 10am-noon) or after work (after 7-8pm).

Is there anyone here I could reach who wants to chat with me and help me better understand how to use the radio correctly? Explain the etiquette when on air, etc etc?

BTW a kind gentlemen on this website granted me access to Coral Springs receiver. I wasn't sure I configured it correctly but managed to chat for a short bit with someone around 6:10pm yesterday (April 1st).

Hi Martin, 

I'm new to GMRS also. I've had my liscense for a while but haven't used it until now. Just got a new radio and haven't talked to anyone yet so I don't even know if I'm getting out. Give me a time and a channel and let's see what happens. Thanks, Dale WRDW850

 Martin aka WSCD723 made this post a year ago. I would guess that by now he has confirmed that his radios work.
