[CQ-Contest] CQ WW DX Contests

[Jack Brindle]

I’m in agreement with everyone here, especially Jim. If you work me, and you _do_ log a 3, you will lose the Q. I am now in Louisiana, which is not in zone 3. 
Remember, hams tend to move around a lot, and lots of hams are leaving CA. The FCC allows us to keep our calls wherever we go.

73,
Jack, W6FB
