I thought that may happen, 2m activity increased quite a bit for a while but it seems to have gone quiet again recently. My location permits contacts 100 miles or more away to the east but very little heard. Worked one station in Hastings last week.

For once, a reasonably positive and accurate external view of the hobby.
