In 2001 I moved from Iowa to Oklahoma and ran both the
CW and SSB sweepstakes from here. It was interesting
to see in the ARRL log checking report that several
stations lost a QSO with me because they put down IA
as my section. Seems people rely on the database a
little too much. Still don't use one here, but then
don't know how to use one either.
