It seems that during SAREX, more crews were active. ISS crews seem either a lot busier (less personal time for ham radio?) or are generally a lot less interested --

I had a chance to speak with our hometown astronaut Suni Williams recently, and she indicated that access to other forms of communication, specifically e-mail and VoIP phones, have become available to the astronauts making radio less interesting to those astronauts not already bitten by the ham bug.
