[CQ-Contest] JA's long time passing

[Ken K6MR]

I have no idea. I got inactive about 1974, and when I returned in the 2000s they were gone.

Someone lurking here must have gone through the change, perhaps a history lesson?

What happened to all that JA activity?

Ah yes,  the early 1970s from the west coast. A million JAs to work and so
little time.  I was never that good at it, but working 800 JAs the first
night on 15 meter  phone was not that unusual. W7RM probably doubled that.

I don’t think  there will be any W6s winning SOAB in the future unless the
Chinese suddenly  decide to take up radio sport.

But we can dream…

And you can  tell that was a long time ago: two of those W6s are SKs.
