Bill:

Understand your feeling on the subject. However, some operators have a long history with that call and hate to give it up.

KH6RF/4 is operating from U.S. 4th District which is a legitimate identifier for that call sign. If anyone doesn't know what /4 stands for and claims it as Hawaii while chasing awards that is their problem... or the software they use. There are many others using KH, KL, and other off shore prefixes. A friend of mine locally is WL7CTA here in Illinois, he received the call while station with military in Alaska. It a very distinctive call ... Chicago Transit Authority (suffix phonetics on phone.

The days when one worked a station in 1st FCC district ME, NH, VT, CT, MA , DE , RI) are long gone thanks to FCC. The station one works with a W1 call sign may be in Florida or anywhere else in USA. This is because we live in a mobile society with people moving all over the place.

This is a sad fact we have to live with. Don't count on your software nor QRZ to be 100% accurate. Often when I work a station I get the feeling that he isn't paying attention. More interested in contact than accuracy or figuring his software will insert everything into log.

Had a submission this morning for Hawaii with call of AB0JM and QRZ says he's in Hawaii. Go figure !
