Where I'm from, 2m band seems to be popular due to the small antenna requirement. The fact we're in densely populated area probably also play a role.

There should be the 70cm band as well, but I haven't seen any sign of life around here.

2m only. I'll log into the weekly net, that's about it since I don't really have anyone I know these days that's a ham.

That's a ham indeed...

What do you usually find on that weekly net?

Maybe half a dozen people, but usually nobody has much to say. My dad is in a larger city these days and he says about the same.

I think all the yappers are on 80, I sold my long range equipment years ago because I couldn't listen to the stupid. I still have a 10m rig that I'll fire up if the skip is active.
