Yes.... :-(

All the Pacitic Area stations transitioned to RRI and IATN. I think all of Central did too. 
Eastern is a mix.

I have 4 IATN skeds, and one NCS stint on WAN....so far. The RRI system seems to be 
working well. I'm also a Digital Relay Station for Idaho.

As I have been harping on getting our traffic folks to use 160 meters. Same difficulty. Many 
of them seem to think it is too difficult to build or install or modify a workable antenna.

It isn't all that hard, really.

Me too. Let's hope it stays this way.

I would hope that more folks here will discuss their antenna systems. That seems to be the 
major road-block for many people to get on 630 meters.
