Can you imagine having to send "GASCCUIOP" as your SEC in SS?

Art,
Delaware was part of Maryland-Delaware-DC, just like the Georgia-South
Carolina-Cuba section or the Utah-Wyoming section.
From my reading of a few of the rules announcements from the past in
the QST Archives, sections have always been the multiplier (though the
term "multiplier" was not applied initially) with no exceptions other
than the Northern Territories exception added because there never has
been an ARRL/CRRL/RAC field organization in Yukon, NWT, or Nunavut.
Here are the ARRL divisiona and sections in existence at the time of
the first Sweepstakes in Janaury 1930:

Please help my memory.
Did not Delaware used to be part of the MD-DEL-DC Section, or was that
just
the MDD Traffic Net (for you old CD Party geezers, I was K3OAE RM MD).
I have a vague recollection of DEL becoming a separate ARRL Section, but
my
earliest SS logs (1968) show it as already a mult.
If DE was, in fact, in the MD-DC Section, was there no separate DE mult
for
SS?
