Yeah, but...the name of the ARRL section is "Sacramento Valley" not
"sugar victor". And the rules say to send your ARRL section name. But I
agree, it is probably best to get into the habit of saying "sugar victor".
Maybe we can lobby to get the section split in two and have "Southern
Sacramento Valley" and "Northern Sacramento Valley"!

Along the same lines as SCV and SV, most of the people who busted QSOs with
my exchange were dinged for submitting LA instead of LAX. Now on phone it
seems to me that shouldn't be a cause for a busted QSO, as Los Angeles IS
LA.
