If you think that the ARRL is dull from a DX location with no 
propagation to the U.S. try working it from an area of the U.S. with no 
propagation to Europe.  Same with the WAE contest.

With no propagation to the DX locations, we just sit and spin the dial 
and listen to the east coast running Europe.  73
