Hello. I just recently got issued my HAM license and I have no idea on how to make my first contact, I know about calling CQ Ect. but have no idea on what frequency is best for that in my area here in Sunland Park N.M. Thank you and I would appreciate any help.
Which class of License do you have? A technician can operate on 10 meters. If you have a band plan that will help explain. Let me see if i can send you one.

I hope that helps. If you do cw(morse code) you can virtually do that anywhere.

I see, so with a tech license im only allowed to operate on a ten meter correct? I was under the impression that I could operate on a 6 and 70 also.

Yes, you are probably right. Just follow the band plan and you can’t go wrong.

Hi Michael
… and find more infos about activity centers and calling frequencies in the official IARU Region 2 bandplan (which – in USA – supplements but does not override the ARRL band plan).
