How did they figure the US zones - by call sign which isn't too

wonder how many Zone 5 and Zone 4 calls are resident in Zone 3?
Yes, by number in the call. One hopes that the number of
"out-of-zone" callsigns balance each other out. I.e. for every W6 who
lives in Zone 5, there is a W1 somewhere who lives in Zone 3.

I believe it's much more likely that a W1/2 lives in zone 3 than W6/7 in
zone 5. The population trend in the US has been flight from the NE to
the SW for a number of years now.
