Considering that the OJs ran 100W to a rather low tribander, I have to
believe that it was difficult for a "SSB" team to compete. I only
dabbled in the contest, but watching the spots and listening to the
activity at my QTH, the OJ activity seemed far greater on CW than SSB.
In fact, I worked all 52 OJ calls, 48 of them on 20CW, but only 6 or so
on 20SSB.
