The number of amateur radio station license in Japan is about one third at the
peak in mid 90's, and the current number is almost like what was in early 80's.
At the moment, I don't see so much activities for those who were teenage around
1980.  Likewise, please correct me if I'm wrong, I don't see so much activities
from west cost like what was about 30 years ago.  Now it's quite difficult to
be a continental winner for CQWW(SOABHP) from JA.
