[CQ-Contest] Ideas for WRTC 2004

[Mike Gilmer, N2MG]

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.
