It is some weeks since I last updated my quick view of activity on the narrowband transponder. My last look was just before 1600z, on a Thursday evening in Europe.
The impression I get is still of dramatic under-use. There are very few stations on, but by now I was expecting it to be busy.
Most activity is from Europe and in Europe most operators are either retired or home from work.
Overall, my advice remains, "don't bother". It is easier to work DX with a few watts on 10m SSB! Maybe at the very depths of the solar cycle things would be different?
This has just not caught on.
