Apparently "6-land" doesn't exist in the thinking of new englanders.


I'm sure they are like the rest of the country... We all know that
California is there - but we try not to dwell on it too much.

Most likely, you are not hearing news reports by hams in the west because
they are currently too busy doing something useful. One pattern I've noted
over the years is that reporting of ham involvement in emergencies generally
has a significant time-lag. I'm not saying that this is good or bad; I'm
just saying that that's how it generally goes.

P.S. Is it really true that they call California the "cereal bowl state"
because once you get past all the fruits and nuts, the only thing left are
the flakes?
