Licence conditions are here:

There are rules, no 'broadcast' except when looking for contacts, can't be used for politics, commercial use, need to give your callsign every 15 mins and when changing frequency, need to respect power and frequency allocations, can't operate from the air... all very reasonable so yeah, you can just have a chat.
