> 73 ALOHA DE KH6GMP (in Hawaii, not Delaware) It seems that "HI", as in: "SX1R HI 599 13 13 SX1R", is also a two-letter word to be avoided!! We have Delaware, Indiana and, now, Hawaii! Regarding the exchange, I believe that the one proposed by ZC4LI is ok by the rules, as they don't specify full identification in each "over". 73 Costas SV1XV
