I love it Chen!! Very good point. I will ALWAYS use DE. Having been a
ham for over 50 years, I can't see why change now. It has never been nor
will it ever be too confusing to me and BTW, I am not a rocket scientist!

I agree in general, but it can be very confusing in the RTTY Roundup (and
other contests where state info is sent).
For the same reason, you don't want the exchange to include common words
such as OR, OK, ON, OH, IN, ME, MA, PA, or mention your TX, or if you are
running on DC power, or mention the year Socrates drank hemlock :-).
Don't end the exchange with an AR or SK, or greet someone in the afternoon
with a GA either (just use HI since KH6 is DX :-).
Don't send you name if it is AL or MO.
