We had a couple of guys in our club that are long time Hams. One of them organized a study class for us which was way cool. And we started a little "net" on Monday nights, where we sit and yak with each other, which helps you practice. So far it's vastly superior to CB, especially with connected repeaters. I communicated on 2m with one of my club members who was camping up above Central City and I was practically home, a distance of around 75 miles! You can't do that with CB. We're working on more of our club members. Eventually we'll get them all to go Ham.
