It doesn't matter where you are any more. Some of us don't like it either. If you are assigned a call by the FCC then you'll get one that's in your correct call area. But if you move or if you apply for a vanity call, it can be outside your area.
I had an opportunity to get a call containing my initials but I couldn't bring myself to be a "9" after being a "0" for 35 years. :-) Craig NZ0R -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Julian G4ILO Sent: Monday, November 26, 2007 9:30 AM To: elecraft Subject: [Elecraft] OT: US call areas This is probably common knowledge to most, but do US calls not relate to the geographic area any more? In the contest, I worked call area 6, which my map shows as the west coast, but the station I worked, N6AR, is listed in qrz.com with an address in Florida, which is call area 4. Do call areas have *any* use (e.g. for multipliers in ARRL contest scores)? -- Julian, G4ILO K2 s/n: 392 K3 s/n: ???
