I think "sugar victor" would be the best one to use. Sacramento
Valley has a C in it.
If (and this is a big IF) we ever got to the point of removing
QSOs from both logs - being in Sacramento Valley, San Francisco,
South Florida, Oregon or Orange sections would be a real handicap.

I think that the removal of the qso's, the discussion, etc, will make it
into the realms of contest tips along with what band to be on, etc.
Like the note I put over the MP in the SSB SS:
SCV is SANTA CLARA VALLEY, STUPID+ACEAIQAh-
Many thanks to all those enlightened souls who say Sugar Victor, from me of
the late contest brain sugar and oxygen deprivation stupor, unable to count
the number of times I hit the delete key in a row, etc, etc.
73, y'all
