[CQ-Contest] JT contest

[Art Boyars]

Seeing K4ZW's post on CQ-Contest about the JT 'Test this weekend reminded me of a story W3ZZ told about the old days of the QSO quota in ARRL CW DX.  (For the newer guys, you were allowed only five QSOs with any one country on a band.  And the Test ran two weekends.  The idea was to let the "little guys" in W/VE work some DX.  No quota on phone.  I think the CW quota was dropped in the late '60s.)

As I recall, the 20 meter crew (K3EST and ???) at W3MSK (W3AU) had astoundingly worked FOUR JTs.  They were desperately hoping to get a fifth so they could call "CQ DX ASIA NO JT".
