I love it Chen!!  Very good point.  I will ALWAYS  use DE.  Having been a 
ham for over 50 years, I can't see why change  now.  It has never been nor 
will it ever be too confusing to me  and BTW, I am not a rocket scientist!

I agree in general, but it can be very  confusing in the RTTY Roundup (and 
other contests where state info is  sent).

For the same reason, you don't want the exchange to include  common words 
such as OR, OK, ON, OH, IN, ME, MA, PA, or mention your TX, or if  you are 
running on DC power, or mention the year Socrates drank hemlock :-).  

Don't end the exchange with an AR or SK, or greet someone in the  afternoon 
with a GA either (just use HI since KH6 is DX :-).

Don't send  you name if it is AL or MO.
