AMEN. As someone pointed out, numbers in the USA are no longer geographical, and
so what? It's just a way of cutting the pileup down by 90 percent at a time. 

I hope the DX will ignore the lids that append a portable number in hopes of
working them out of turn. If your call is W6QRP, your are a 6, period.
