[CQ-Contest] No more JAs

I've noticed the same thing here in western Europe: the JA runs have all 
but dried up, and it's not simply explained by the sunspot cycle.

However, when running the big special event stations M2000A, GB50, 
GB200T, GB150VC, we still get called by hordes of JAs. Somehow, they 
seem to have lost interest in contesting but still love to work the 
rarer calls. That explains why JA pileups from HC8 are still big.

Anyone know why they have shifted away from contesting?
