OH1XYZ were to send "599 OH" ?
If this were to happen, OH1XYZ would be in violation of FCC rules,
assumming the "OH" is meant to be Ohio. While he may have FCC
permission to operate from the US, he must append a US prefix.
By convention, he must sign W8/OH1XYZ, or under the old standard,
OH1XYZ/W8, or any other legal designator for the 8th call district.
This is basic, and logging software which does not know these rules is
flawed. For example, in SS, if you worked OH1XYZ and he gave OH as a
State, the QSO" would get kicked out in a flash.
