[WSWSS] Re: Ping Jockey Web Site, JT44, and The Lack of W6's & W7's

I hope there will be a new flush of operators soon based on the interest in 
the WSJT demo I gave at M^2.  Over 300 people were in attendance at the 
open house.

As for myself, I have been very inactive recently due to work and other 
obligations and the only permanent antennas I have up are for 6m.  Any 
other activity is based around contests/meteor showers/skeds and/or 
expeditions, where I setup antennas just for those events.

The west has always been a black hole for VHF.  Aside from activity centers 
in the Pacific Northwest, Vegas, Phoenix, and CO there is a lot of open 
space.  California is for some reason under represented, but I have noticed 
a sharp decline in activity over all out here lately.
