This all seems to imply that it's all but impossible to work JAs in a
contest --at least from most areas of the country-- by just S&P'ing, no

JA3YBK and other beacon stations often call CQ around 1400-1600Z in
this contest and SP. JA3YBK seems to like 1811. However,
I didn't hear those or any other JA's CQ'ing today. I
have also had JA3YBK call me as early as 0800Z.
There was a terrific opening to JA this morning.
Running low power, I worked about 15 of them.
Some were just booming in. It would have been
interesting to see where JA3YBK would be on the S meter
this morning. The 1810-1825 window didn't seem to be
as crowded as usual, so I think the stronger ones could
have called CQ. I used my transmit vertical for
receiving today because the noise seemed to be low.
