You had to go back to 1972 to find these? 40 plus years ago? I wasn't
even licensed yet but I suspect JA's played a big part. Also you just
picked W6 and left out W7 and VE7. W2PV had 10 more mults but the 6's
were able to work more zones, which is interesting.

Were there more serious contesters outside W1 land in those days?
Maybe. Just tossing out scores does not prove anything.

Less W6's, was this just a blip in the propagation gods, more JA's to
work or more serious contesters located outside W1 land?
You can take statistics and make them tell you anything you want to see
especially when you exclude certain areas.
Since some 6's won 40 years ago I guess everything is just super? Just
move along folks, nothing to see here.
Now we move to 2010 and the landscape has changed dramatically.

The top 6 lander or West coast station was 30th. These stats are SSB
taken from the scores database for CQ WW.
Interesting stuff.
