 That is not necessarily true: 

Imagine if a 100 watt PEI station operated Sweepstakes only on 21/28 MHz. There would be little chance of working them from New England or the mid-Atlantic because of the skip zone, but much less of a problem getting them from the west coast.
This (skip zone and population density) is of course why the west coast has the advantage in Sweepstakes to begin with.

 This post points out the obvious difference of QTH. From the eastern 
half of the US and Canada, the eastern provinces are easy and the 
western provinces are hard. From the western parts of NA, the eastern 
provinces are hard and the western provinces are easier.
