Hi Ken I suspect that when the original call sign issuing system was created, the US population was a lot less mobile than today. From what I've read about the 20's and 30's, it was common for people to have lived their entire lives within one state. That probably helped condition the idea of call sign goes with location. 73, Bob N6WG
