I guess I never really thought about where North America stopped. I just
figured Canada, US and Mexico made up North America and after that it
was Central America until you hit Columbia. I worked anyone who called
me, you never know when you have missed a band for RTTY DXCC. Even
though I gave some of the EU stations a sequential serial number, it was
tough getting names from them. I guess next year if the two contests
fall at the same time again I will have to make some type of macro
stating "I will give you a number in exchange for your name". Maybe
somewhere in the rules, probably under Section 5, they can list what is
considered the North American Prefixes.
