I did want to mention that I made my first contact locally on the repeater 2 days ago. Other than that QSO I haven't been able to talk to anyone. I am pretty sure that I am making it to the repeater fine. I can see my call on the list. Now if I wanted to connect to say a reflector would I format the call /REF001^^C in the R2 field? If I want to call a station in another state do I need the / before the call? I still am not clear in how the format goes. I need to catch up to another HAM here locally. I hope to do that fairly soon.
Again thanks for all your help! 73's Steve KJ6N
