Steve,  unfortunately  you  are right, US and JA participation is very
low.  If  you  go to http://rdxc.org/asp/pages/stat_c.asp?ID=0 you can
see how many participants took part from particular country.

Here's the US and JA participation, 1998 - 2006:

United States of America 4 15 41 41 102 66 109 90 111
Japan 44 51 29 43 40 53 57 57 57

SL> It might be fun in a few years when the sunspots return.

No doubt it will be fun when the sunspots return.
