No, you do NOT have to sign /4. I would suggest since you are in the rare RTTY
state of Georgia, that you might put GA at the end of your CQ message like:
CQ NAQP DE W3NR W3NR GA CQ
But don't do this:
CQ NAQP DE W3NR W3NR IN GA CQ
Some folks might think you are in Indiana!
I'm not sure why GA is rare on RTTY, but take advantage of it!
CU there!
