Yes, very interesting, and I think most of the credit goes to the
operators, rather than the radios.
However, the fact that a very large percentage of these top operators
*choose* to use the Elecraft K3 does say a lot about the desirability of
the K3 for contesting. Whether that be because of the weight, or
because of the performance and operating interface, you would probably
have to ask each K3 operator about his choice.

This is very interesting. I've been thinking of all the ways you could spin this data other than simply counting radios. For example, Icom could say, "Five out of the top six winning radios were Icoms." Yaesu could say, "When Elecraft owner Martti Laine needed a top performer for WRTC... he reached for his Yaesu!", Kenwood could say, "Think a Kenwood can't beat an Elecraft in a tough contesting situation? Think again." &c.
I think what this all really means is that it comes down to the operator, not the radio... which is the whole reason for WRTC in the first place.
