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.

Seriously, stop whining.

Thanks for this information Fabio.  So essentially because the logs are
real time into the central system you are creating an SSB skimmer, not by
pulling signals off the air like CW Skimmer but by monitoring Qs logged on
a specific frequency.  While it may “level the playing field” in WRTC, it
is completely against the rules in IARU Championship for which the rest of
the world is participating and competing.  It also greatly increases the
SSB efficiency of WRTC competitors vs non-WRTC competitors.  Affecting
everybody’s scores even though not competing directly with each other.

The WRTC is happening simultaneously with IARU.  Never before, to my
knowledge, has a WRTC rule or process, influenced the overall contest for
others in the contest.  It is after all the IARU Contest that is the norm
here, not WRTC.

I would ask the committee to rescind this clearly unallowed process in the
IARU Contest.

Thank you for your consideration of the rest of the contesting community.
