Another explanation is that they may have directional RX antennas 
pointing NE - where the majority of contacts are - while running 
omni-type TX antennas.

 W6OAT and I are about 800 miles apart near Seattle and San Francisco 
respectively, and we both observed the same thing during CQ160SSB -- 
running stations that are very solid copy are DEAF. Contesters would 
do well to spend a LOT more effort on RX. Those who have not done so 
miss lots of QSOs.
 And if you can't hear, please don't pollute the band with a big signal 
constantly CQing!
