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

Dave,
 Can you support your statement regarding the number of participants in 
RDXC, IARU and WPX with solid figures?
ARRL, that was part of 2014 WRTYC selection, for me is truly regional 
contest where unlike RDXC we can only work US and VE and therefore 
pretty dull from areas where propagation to NA last only few hours. In 
RDXC you can work any one anywhere wich does not fit the discription 
of a regional contest but rather WW contest.
I have done ARRL couple of times from the very well equipped setup 
with multiple stacks to only make 500-600 QSOs in 48 hours while 3000 
QSO in 24 hours in RDXC is not uncommon from almost anywhere.
