As no one else has said it yet, welcome. 
Can't help with the chat question, not a member of any of the channels myself. If you need a hand with anything, feel free to give me a shout.
The "Forumites" channel is generally fairly active. Also, since you're playing on defiant and seem to be interested in TF's and stuff, you might want to join the "Defiant Events" channel.

Welcome to the Defiant server, and welcome to the game.
I hope you enjoy your time in the game.
Heya Sentinent. I saw you at the fight with babbage in Skyway last night.
Hope you're enjoying the game!

Hi & Welcome to Defiant. 
Thanks for the welcome everyone! Really enjoying this game, I'm certainly going to subscribe for a while! It's still sparse but everyone I've seen so far have been really friendly and cool =D
Thanks for the welcome yet again!

I'm new to COH, just started playing with a Scrapper called "Sentinent".
Just curious if anyone here, plays on the Defiant server and/or if there's any general chats going on in the game as it's pretty quiet over there and people seem to hide from the active public chat channels ^_^
Also, if anyone's up for Task Forces/Safeguards/Trials/badge hunt and can bear to have a very slow loading player on board (heh yes my comp sucks =D) I'll be willing to join in if I meet the level requirement's and aren't completing a story arc somewhere else ^_^

Cheers, oh and, I'm also not one to shy away from the social gatherings, even if I may seem a bit quiet, enjoying the benefits of newbiedom and it's low-level content to the best of my loading speeds hehe!
Thanks -
Rob
