Congratulations!

You should have received the new version of license which consists of a larger 
form, suitable for framing, and a smaller, wallet sized license, suitable for 
wallet-carrying.  Both forms are equivalent and interchangable (ie both legal 
proof of license.)  If you wanna carry the wallet sized original, you would 
still have another original license at home on the wall.  As far as what most 
hams do, there probably isn't a majority practice, and besides, its really up to 
what you feel like doing.

Welcome to Ham radio... 

and good luck...

My experience with TVI is that the main problem is RF rectification
in rain gutters, etc. or loose connections on the ham radio tower.
I found I could run 1 KW on ten meters while watching channel 2 TV
(50 miles away) interference free using a TV antenna mounted 
one foot below the beam on the same mast, after I cleaned up 
all loose connections.  This was done with a 20 year old Zenith 
with no high pass filter.  On the other hand, if I allowed a 
guy wire to rub against the tower forming a diode, then I could 
wipe out a TV set 100 feet away using built in rabbit ears, 
even when operating barefoot on 80 meters.

Probably you should locate the TV antenna where it gets the highest
level of TV signal, regardless of its relationship with the ham
antenna, because the interference will be coming from a rain gutter
somewhere, not the ham antenna.  (In fact, avoid putting the TV 
antenna near problem objects that might rectify).

As always, your milage may vary.

I had the same problem.  It results from a combination of repeater and HT 
idiosyncracies...  

HT:  Unless 'auto-reply' is turned ON, the HT does not stop transmitting 
right away when the button is released

Repeater:  Expects the transmission to end immediately after the touch 
tone is received - otherwise it discards the tone.

SOLUTION:  turn on auto reply on the HT

Quikset makes a line of antenna positioners that can handle a 2 meter
dish. They are intended to be mast mounted on one of those pneumatic
masts you've seen on TV remote trucks. The positioners are surprisingly
fragile, and horribly expensive, around $2,000, made from cast aluminum. 
Unless this is a professional application, I'd build my own. 

A few old Nike fire control directors still show up on the surplus market
from time to time. They can handle a 10 meter dish and slew it horizon
to horizon in about a second. Expect to have to pay motor freight. :-)
I saw an ad for a pair a few months ago in Broadcast Engineering for
$6,000 each.

You can make your own rugged positioner out of a pair of 5 hp DC motors, 
some sprockets, shafting, pillar block bearings, motorcycle chain, and 
some half inch plate steel. Use a couple of geared multiturn pots for 
position feedback. Probably around $300-$500 unless the machine shop robs 
you, or you can't scrounge surplus motors.

Or, if you don't need 360 degree freedom, you can adapt a pair of satellite
TV linear positioners to a gate hinge mount. Shouldn't cost over a couple
of hundred brand new.

If you want to listen to proper operating practises in use, try air
traffic controllers or MARS traffic-handling nets.
I regularly run a net with some 200+ stations concurrently active; its
pure bliss compared with listening to a pileup on 20 meters (which sounds like
the baying of the Hounds of Hades, and does nothing to promote a view of
the ham bands as something worth protecting from commercial poaching...)
A ham i used to know (G3HRN) had a sticker on his rig; he got it when
his employer had been trying to cut down on unnecessary phone calls; it said,
in big red letters:-
 
                    IS YOUR CALL REALLY NECESSARY?

The motto being, listen, listen, listen! You sure as hell wont work 'em
if you dont hear 'em first.

While the masses are QRMing each other on a pileup frequency, they are leaving
other slots for *you* to work on. OK you may not work 'the latest' DX, but
you may get to have quite a few contacts.

Why do people have to nit-pick things like this?

        You have a callsign assigned as a station license, and a license
to operate said station. The license states a location for that station.
Who owns the equipment is a moot point. If your operating an HT in a car
with a group of people, however has possesion of the HT, "owns" it as far
as whos station is "mobile" at the time.

I have a system from STI-CO set up in my vehicle.  The one I use
utilizes the antenna already mounted on the vehicle and places an
antenna splitter/bandpass filter and an antenna tuner in the feedline
It took about 20 minutes to install (involved putting a pl-259 on
the antenna line) and another 10 to tune.  It performs as well as
the 1/4 wave deck mounted antenna on my wife's car, which is just
fine unless you live way out in the country.
