[CQ-Contest] Gotta love those IARU cut numbers

[John Geiger]

Art,

I was a little confused by that at first too.  I have run the IARU contest
for many years and thought that I hadn't heard AA as a IARU official
designation before, so finally guessed that it stood for zone 11.  It
didn't help any that the station giving out AA for 11 had a US 1 x 1 call
instead of KP4/ which is where they were located.
