pretty quiet most of the time. A lot of folks are over on digital repeaters. I monitor analog and digital off and on. Tons of people have moved over and play on HF frequencies doing FT8 digital and things like that.
But you are correct, most local repeaters are just quiet accept for a few weekend or evening nets. Skyhub.net is pretty active most of the time, it's a wide area coverage digital network. Mixed modes I believe.
I'm not very active, I don't have a lot of friends active to chat with - everyone is busy and schedules aren't the same. Years ago, we were always on talking.
I can be up on frequency / repeater if you need to try and verify any equipment functionality if you need. I'm castle rock or I25 corridor during commute.
