Maybe the rest of the world (apart from the US) need to create our own
contest reflector?

Geez Mats,
Isn't a US domestic contest like Sweepstakes much like CQWW from
Europe ? You all pretty much work each other and working the US is an
afterthought! There is proof of this if you download public logs from
CQ for the guys with big scores in EU and North Africa. Usually 70% of
their QSO's are with other EU stations inside an area smaller than the
continental US. You consider that a DX contest? Every year I waste
time calling EU stations on 160/80 meters when I operate from the
Caribbean. Maybe CQ should NOT allow EU to work each other for any
points and maybe you would have a different opinion about it? The one
thing you do have going for you is you have some youth interested in
CW. Here in the US it's mostly old guys ! :}
