HF is good, yes, but it could be the death knoll of local
repeaters. I have a friend that FINALLY got her ticket and
the people in her area - in the clubs I mean - don't talk
on the repeaters because they are busy with HF. :-) But 
they don't talk to the new ones who don't know anything
about HF, and think the bands are just dead.

I don't know what the solution is... :-)   I just like
to talk. LOL
