Bill is correct 25 plus years ago there was more activity!! But also =
there was no internet and little fm/ repeater operation. k0mqs was very =
active then operating every nite, working me in sd ( early 70 tys) and =
guys out to about 300 miles in all directions. I suggest we get rid of =
calling freq. and go back to the way it was, call cq on your favorite =
freq and tune the band, tech were above 145mhz back then !! ( hi hi  I =
guess we are not xtal controled any more !! )

  After several hours of activity on 144.200 my guess is you all turn =
the
  radios off unless it is a contest weekend. No activity =3D dead band =
and we
  lose it. I got tired of the hf contest make the QSO mentality no =
matter what
  attitude and dropped out for a while, but to have no active stations =
on a
  Friday night is bad. Use it or lose it. And you wonder why I quit
  contesting, you don't keep the bands active. No activity is going to =
kill
  it, I know everyone is busy with work, myself included but make some =
noise,
  get on a Fri. or Sat night and rag chew, there is more to life than
  contests.
