My most humble apologies, Sir.  It is my fault that I am TERRRIBLE
in geography.  [Hanging head in shame]

Interesting!  That shows that the Hams there are intelligent and
resourceful... like Hams everywhere.   :-}

Ah... but when they get to S50ZZZ and 10 more people have passed the
test, and all the unused, (expired/SK's have been reissued), what will
they do, start off again with S511A?  :-}

QSL OM, Kilowatt Bravo Niner, Quick Pile More here.  (Even the Federal
Communications Commission knows that I'm full of it.)
