[CQ-Contest] Why?

[Milt -- N5IA]

Yuri and Pete,

I find that on 160 Meters the JA operators are still 'Gentlemen'.

I find that if I have just a single letter wrong in a JA call sign the other 
stations will not respond.  In fact, at times I think they are too discrete 
in not responding to something that is NOT their exact call sign.

Mis dos centavos.

de Milt, N5IA

    I agree with you Peter.
It's much worse than even 10 years ago.
And there is no "geographical" difference anymore.
Even JA's behaviour worsened.
Don't know why.
