glad you got it sorted

do you know your local repeater sites / frequencies?, if not look at https://ukrepeater.net/repeaterlist.html?filter=2M

if you have trouble working it out post back and i will help

the other frequency to listen out for is 437.800mhz the ISS Space station when its overhead, it has a cross band repeater (2m uplink with 70cm downlink) and you hear a lot of ham activity on it, look at https://www.heavens-above.com/orbit.aspx?satid=25544 it will show you where the ISS is, if you set you location (latitude and longitude) it will also give you predicted times the ISS is above the horizon, with a handheld and stock antenna outdoors when line of site you can normally hear the ISS when higher than about 40deg elevation above the horizon

hope this helps
