Sorry I don't have any comments about your initial question.  But on this
point, yes, all "domestic" mults (states or ARRL sections, etc.) must have
at least one lower case letter to distinguish them from DX mults.
Otherwise, OH could be Ohio or Finland, PA could be Pennsylvania or
Netherlands, etc.

Tnx for the QSO!
