At a recent board meeting for my club, I asked the chair of our repeater/packet committee if we still had packet systems set up here in Des Moines. He said we did. Not only that, it turns out we have
multiple systems set up in the city! Once he said that, everyone in the room (even including the old-timers who have been around this area forever) were wanting to get the frequencies.
It sounds like people are still interested in playing with packet radio, but yes most of us did let it wither away. All we need to do is remind people that it's still there.
