I came on first using my G3YYD callsign  and after a dozen or so QSOs 
could find no one else to work. I then worked a few more again using my 
SCC M7T but got bored with it being so slow so went QRT to do something 
more productive with my time.

So for me John's analysis was spot on. I suspect others probably went to 
HF and worked a lot more QSOs then they could on 144MHz. Personally 
unless I am a serious entry, I only put an appearance in other contests 
for practice purposes.
