I've heard rumors of that but I have 38 states confirmed on two-meters (from the 
depths of southern AZ), mostly on ear-copy MS.  I never encountered anyone 
offering or asking to use that method.

I was forced into leaving weak-signal work for a number of years following a 
domestic upheaval in the 1980s and when I got back years later, it was all 
digital modes, and I declined to participate. So no 2-meter WAS for me.
