> 3. I have to learn technical and cultural nuance of Ham before being allowed to speak

Could I ask what this item means? That you needed a license, or is it possible that the repeater somehow enforced a class?

There's no technical enforcement of this. I think this is just referring to the general conventions of the way people speak on ham radio, which is different.

And varies widely.

Our club/repeaters don't have any obvious "cultural" norms or rules. Announcing your call sign as required by FCC ham rules is about the only obvious rule.
