That covers some of the etiquette concepts...

Other than that, find a local repeater and join in the conversation. Typically, many of the repeaters have traffic that coincides with rush hour traffic.

When you go out as a group and decide to select a ham frequency for use, keep in mind the local band plan and stay away from local repeater frequencies.

In general, 147.480 is a good choice for simplex operation. That freq is set aside in southern Cal for simplex operation.

Simplex, duplex, pl tones and offset are important terms to know and understand. And, how you set them on your radio.
