There are many packet nodes and networks around the country today, some areas more heavily active than others. The internet augments it in the northeast from what I have heard of it. I don't use it but it is very active. Just listen around 145.01 and the other 20 kilohertz frequency steps near it and you will hear that familiar "gizwerp" sound blasting away. There are many other frequencies where it can be heard, so I wouldn't be saying it's the end, it's still going strong here.
