[CQ-Contest] Deleted ARRL sections

[Ron Notarius W3WN]

You're arguing with the wrong person on whether or not the Czech Republic
should have been considered the "successor" entity to Czechoslovakia.  Take
that up with the DXCC desk or the DXAC.  The fact remains that that is what
they did.   And IIRC, it had more to do with the fact that the entire
government of the original country was dissolved.  

In the case of Washington Section being divided, one of the two sections
retained the entire ARRL Field Organization from the original (the positions
and their history, obviously individuals living in one section didn't hold
positions in the other after the transition)

Regardless, by throwing up the one-time Utah-Wyoming section from some time
way in the past, you are changing the terms of the discussion & muddying the
waters in an attempt to "prove" a point.  I am not familiar with that
section, or how it was divided.  The original point was that when the state
of Washington was split into two ARRL sections, one of the two was
considered the "original," only smaller.  

This is rapidly approaching a level of silliness.  What are we going to
argue about next, whether or not the Baltimore Ravens are the true
successors to the original Cleveland Browns, or were they actually an
expansion team even though (almost) the entire Cleveland team and staff
transferred to Baltimore?

Okay, then how about the the Utah-Wyoming section? If Czechoslovakia 
ceased to exist then  Utah-Wyoming must have ceased to exist as a 
section when it was split into two new section?

According to that argument, Czechoslovakia would not have been a deleted 
entity as it would  still exists in terms of continuity since Vaslev 
Havel was the president of Czechoslovakia before the velet revolution 
and the president of the Czech Republic after!
