The sources are contradictory on this .. ARRL publishes one
set of data here: http://www.arrl.org/contests/vev0vy.html#wkna.
Until recently, IARU Region 2 had another map on the web that
showed the boundary between 6 & 7 following state lines and
the boundary between 7 & 8 following the Mississippi River.
I don't know of any information from the FCC on this (they can
modify the boundaries for domestic regulatory purposes).
