Hi Sean,

SD>There was a nice article about the record-setting number of licensed
SD>hams in the US in the news recently.  A lot of them, however, are
SD>moving on to HF.  VHF here is dead also in my area.

Well, VHF and UHF aren't dead as far as CW and SSB is concerned. There's
a lot of activity in the Nordic Activity Contest's that run every week
on tuesdays and thursdays on different bands. They run on 4m, 6m, 2m,
70cm and 23 cm and 3 GHz up on their own weekdays.

It started in the 60's with two meters and has since expanded but FM and
repeaters are almost dead.

SD>Speaking of repeater, I'm being given a working GE Master II
SD>"rackmount" 2 meter repeater.  I guess if I ever move where every
SD>band pair isn't taken, maybe I'll just toss up a J-pole on a tower
SD>and have my own little 2 meter repeater. :P

Good luck, I hope that the repeater traffic goes on over there.

Fidonet has been dead at least in scandinavia since nov. 23rd but today
there is a lot of echomail again.
