Andy,

One possibility is that long-haul conditions are not the greatest right 
now (and will probably get worse in the next couple of days), and it 
might not be worth burning up hundreds of watts for hours on end. This 
is a little different than the 1-watt Lowfer stuff.

Another possibility is that with such a limited cast of characters, 
sooner or later we're all going to be busy doing real-life things, and 
there won't be anyone on the radio.
