Hi!

Here's the table I found earlier.

s List
Here's a list of all ARRL sections, along with their proper abbreviations,
used in our contests. You use these abbreviations in the lines of QSO  data
for contests that require a section as part of the exchange (Sweepstakes and
160 Meter Contest, plus Field Day).

You also use these abbreviations in your Cabrillo log header for your
LOCATION: or ARRL-SECTION: tag in all ARRL contests.

 

A printable version of this list is available here.

I will try KP4 and see what happens.


For the Vergin Islands contacts, I had to type USVI.
