REPLY: 
Using "DE" in a contest where the exchange is US states is not recommended. That
happens to be the abbreviation for Delaware, and if there were QRM or QRN the
"NY" in the above might be missed and the Q logged as Delaware. 

Likewise, "IN" should not be used as in "W6WRT IN CA" lest it be mistaken as
Indiana. I didn't hear anyone do this in the recent WW, but it does happen
sometimes.
