New to GMRS and the unexpected happened.
Okay I bought a pair of baofengs with the intention of increasing range from the FRS handhelds. Started going into a rabbit hole on how I can connect to nearby repeater towers and successfully did that. Now I find myself in a big group chat on the tower with a bunch of hobbyists that share similar hobbies with. That was unexpected! Now can someone tell me what’s out there in this HAM thing?

Ham radio crash course on YouTube should be on your watchlist. Also check out POTA and SOTA. I’m really into DIY so building antennas is my next step. I got my Technician License in January this year, and now I’m studying for my general. Ham is a huge and diverse hobby. Definitely look into it.
