Correct! I work far more JA on 30m and 17m on my WARC dipole than in the 
contest on 15m or 20m with a yagi at about the same height! While over 90% 
of my log is contest activity.
When we were allowed to use special prefixes (OQ, OO etc) and when the 
Belgian 2x1's got out, I would even have modest JA runs on the WARC bands 
yet never in a contest (since 2001).

So I also came to the conclusion that the average JA ham loves DXing but has 
no real interest in contesting.
