According to some recently compiled stats by Bob K0NR, the vast majority (98.7%) of SOTA (Summits On The Air) VHF-and-higher traffic is on the 2m and 70cm amateur radio bands. Now, this does not exactly say that hams aren't using the numerous other VHF/UHF and higher bands, and furthermore, SOTA usage may or may not be a fair proxy for general usage (but I suspect that it mostly is). This does however make a pretty good case that in traffic-thin areas such as north FL, investing in equipment for anything outside of 2m and 70cm will likely be unproductive.
