[CQ-Contest] Where are the JAs in Contesting?

[Michael Tope]

Interestingly enough, when conditions are good, its not (or
perhaps I should say was not) uncommon for west coast
stations with good ears to work 50 to 100 JA's on 160 during
the CQ WW 160 CW contest. Back in 1998 I worked 39 from
W6UE/6 on Mt. Wilson with beverages in various states of
disrepair. Ken, N6RO worked 108 that year (apparently his
NW beverage was working properly):

It will be intersting to see what the upcoming sunspot
minimum yields.
