  I’ve always equated the ARRL DX Contest being what WAE is for stations in 
Europe. (Without the QTC’s !) Everyone works only the W/VE. You can probably 
get better runs in W/VE with a smaller station than CQWW because everyone has 
their beams pointed our way all the time. I think there probably aren’t as many 
multipliers on because not every part of the world has 24 hour a day 
propagation to us. Plus it’s probably not worth going to some rare DX location 
far from us to just work W/VE stations.
