Some days I hear no conversations. There are some weekly nets, and a sometimes a few commute-time chats. But VHF/UHF activity here in St. Louis County seems to be a fraction of what it was 40 years ago, even though I think there may be more repeaters today. Some of the repeaters are rigged to hook into the global linking system so that somebody here can work somebody, for example, in Australia via local repeaters. I've heard that used only a couple of times. Our DX club has a calling frequency that in days past was frequently occupied with tip-offs, DX chat, and general ragchewing, but even that has fizzled down to almost nothing.
