Hi Phil, tune up your hex beam and start listening on 50.125. Also there are beacons between 50.060 and 50.080. Also watch for spots on your favorite cluster. But most importantly call CQ once in a while on 50.125 ssb. Sometimes you'll find a dead band is really open. You can also try CW around 50.099. This will get you started.
If you end up wanting to step up, a 3 element is inexpensive. You can put it on a cheap 20 foot pole lashed to a fence post. You can work a lot with this simple setup. Have fun!
