I think the 2.4 has made the 72 band more usable because it takes planes off the channels they use. Less waiting time for a pin. That can't be all bad, if half your club goes 2.4 thats great.
This is what I was thinking, too. For every person that's flying with spread spectrum, it's one less person flying on FM. Today at the field there were lots of people flying, but only very few channels being used. I like that!
