This correct... anyone outside of Florida that is in
the FQP will appreciate anycall/county ..
By adding the county abbreviation , it immediately
says that he is indeed in Florida. Also it allows me
to determine if I have worked him from that county
allready or if I need him.
This will result in more Q's for him and less time spent
on freq for me , if indeed I had worked him already.
Obviously by signing W3WW/PIN the /4 would be assumed.

Jim,
"Better to sign W3WW/4 or W3WW/FL."
This doesn't make any sense to me.
W3WW/4 could be in any of the eight 4-land states. It doesn't tell me he's
in Florida.
W3WW/FL tells me he's a DX station in a French Department somewhere or maybe
he's in Florida can't tell for sure.
W3WW/?? Slash anything, causes callsign synchronization issues when
uploading to eQSL or LoTW.
W3WW BRE tells me he is a station in Brevard county and YES I want to know
that he hasn't moved to another county. As soon as I type his callsign, my
contest software shows me all the contacts I have made with that station, no
matter which band, mode, or county.
