Hi Chris,
>From the rules, "American DX (KL7, KH6, KP2, KH3, etc.) operating within
the 48 states must sign with a full designator of their choice. KH6XXX
operating from Ohio must use an authorized prefix for the U.S. 8th district."
In other words you can use KL9A/WV7 but that's not rare as WV7Y is just 80
miles north of you in Spokane.
What can't occur is WS7I/KY5.
