[CQ-Contest] Where are the JA's

[mike l dormann]

well, no luck on 160 but worked 4 on 80 cw the AADX test.

where are all the JAs?

i looked back at my record of the AA results from 1978/79/80/81, and i
was working 20 - 30 JA stations per year on 80 meters, with the same
equipment i have today (HRO60, arc5, 810 amp, vertical dipole on the edge
of a cliff facing northwest)
i only heard 3 loud (569) JA stations, JG1ZUY, JN1VNW, and ZE1ZWT, for
the two nights on 80.

the first year i entered (1963) i worked 3 stations on 80 cw with a
DX100, super pro, and a dipole.............

what goes around comes around
