Q2. Where does one go after beginning level? How does one break into the other side of the hobby?

A2. I think it's different for everyone, but for me:

Find an "Elmer" (is that right? or "Elsie"?) who is helpful and patient and knowledgable and ideally has some spare radios to borrow from time to time. I have been lucky to have had help from @kb6nu #W8TAM #K5HDL locally.

Attach the hobby to something you like - my #SDR helped by listening to #baseball

Q1. Where are you checking in from and, if you have your license, what was your most recent contact?

A1. Ann Arbor, MI, grid EN82dg.

Most recent contact this morning on a morning roundtable net, pedestrian mobile on 2 meters via #N8DUY , with Jim #W8STX as net control. Band conditions fair in the early morning, there is interference when the band is long.

W8STX is there every day, keeps a log that he posts monthly, and generally directs traffic on the net. Thanks Jim!
