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.

Only HF these days, 40 through 10. Was active on satellites, not so much now. 2 m is dead in my vicinity. The weekly net prioritises checkins from Echolink over RF and that’s a dealbreaker for me.

Will go back on satellites when HF conditions deteriorate. 73
