Yep, we're out here, although some of us travel more than others :)) AFAIK the Travellers Net is still going.
As for UHF and VHF...well it depends where you are of course. Not much use in the Gibson desert, but a great way to break the ice and perhaps get directions when in a new town.

Peter VK6HH passed away a few years ago. The last I knew was that Roy VK6BO was running the show but desperate for some assistance.
Information on travelers nets (2006) is here,VK travelers nets
Never found the 15 meter one much chop & 20 metres when last used still OK.
Cheers Tony
