[CQ-Contest] In-state stations in QSO Parties...

[Jimk8mr at aol.com]

W3WW would have no reason to sign /4 if he was in any of the seven 4-land  
states not the focus of the FQP.
 
FL/W3WW would be a French Department.  W3WW/FL would  not.  Sort of like 
W3WW/QRP.
 
Who actually logs the crap people attach to the end of their calls?   (like 
QRP, BRE, etc.)  I don't.

This doesn't make any sense to  me.

W3WW/4 could be in any of the eight 4-land states. It doesn't tell  me he's 
in Florida.

W3WW/FL tells me he's a DX station in a French  Department somewhere or 
maybe 
he's in Florida can't tell for  sure.

W3WW/?? Slash anything, causes callsign synchronization issues  when 
uploading to eQSL or  LoTW.
