You have still made a defacto plea for Good Samaritans

to send you Wyoming stations.

To wit: What if some Good Sam hears you call CQ WY and

later on, while the Good Sam is running himself, a WY 
calls him and then your Good Sam tells the WY to go to

your frequency?  Or that same Good Sam posts your 
request on packet?

This is why Tree's suggestion to not mention needed
mults AT ALL is the only consistent method.  Can there

be anything simpler?
