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

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 ! :}
