[CQ-Contest] WRTC Countdown Is On (K3ZJ

[Yuri]

IMHO such complaint would be the same as complaint on a DX (or 
DXpedition) being spotted in the Contest more often than the regular 
stations.
Or, for instance, N1UR, located in the rare state of VT would be spotted 
more often than, for example, a NY station...
Except in the above mentioned cases both N1UR and DX are competing with 
all others, and WRTC stations are only competing with (other) WRTC stations.
I agree with NN3W.
