Section Abbreviations, most states ONLY have one section so the STATE abbreviation is used,
others like California have many sections, plus a few like "Pacific" and "maritime" or "MDC" for Maryland -DC
you need these for some arrl contests,  print them , try to memorize them  ,
if you are using logging software,  chances are you cant log incorrect abbreviations.
