[NCARC] New listener with basic questions

[Eric Tamme]

Sorry again .. I dont know if my web mail client is doing some thing 
weird - trying again with thunderbird. Hey everyone, My name is Eric. I 
am currently studying up to get my technician rating and in the 
meanwhile I got a UV-5X3 to do some listening on local repeaters and get 
a feel for whats going on in ham land in northern colorado. As I don't 
have my license yet, I'm only trying to listen, not broadcast - but 
after tuning in several of the repeaters listed on the NCARC website, 
I'm not hearing ... well pretty much anything. 447.275 seems to be the 
repeater listed for most Nets, so I've been keeping that in one of my 
two dual monitor slots, pretty much all day. Occasionally I hear some 
short CW, but im guessing thats maybe just repeater identification. Can 
anyone give me some guidance on what/when I should be tuning to be able 
to hear some active airwaves? Thanks very much for any help/advice, -Eric
