Uh, that was 40 years ago when there were bunches of JAs to work...so many
that a JA speaking op was used for those runs. That was the good old days
and now WW contest top honors are reserved for those in the NE.
I did SOAB HP Assisted in the 2013 WWSSB. Although I was nr 1 claimed, I
have no doubt that a well equipped station with a good op in the NE would
have blown me away if he had entered that class. My station is probably the
biggest in the SE and I think I'm a decent op, but barring weird prop
that's what would have happened.
No complaints, just realization of the facts. We in the SE have our day
in the ARRL10 and WPX...and a pretty good shot at SS and NAQP. You can't
have the advantage in every contest.
