[Elecraft] OT: US call areas

[Craig Rairdin]

It doesn't matter where you are any more. Some of us don't like it either.

If you are assigned a call by the FCC then you'll get one that's in your
correct call area. But if you move or if you apply for a vanity call, it can
be outside your area.

I had an opportunity to get a call containing my initials but I couldn't
bring myself to be a "9" after being a "0" for 35 years. :-)

This is probably common knowledge to most, but do US calls not relate
to the geographic area any more? In the contest, I worked call area 6,
which my map shows as the west coast, but the station I worked, N6AR,
is listed in qrz.com with an address in Florida, which is call area 4.
Do call areas have *any* use (e.g. for multipliers in ARRL contest
scores)?
