Please note that bull area of @EURO was never used!
European packet ops always used/use @EU area code to send continent-wide bbs bulls.
Like all@eu, sysop@eu, packet@eu and etc.

It's better to address these bulletins ARLP @ USA or ARLP @ WW to indicate the type and/or topic of the bulletin and the desired distribution. A similar bulletin distribution blunder is the use of ALLUSA or ALLUS in the AT field. Placing USA in the AT field implies distribution to everyone at USA and doesn't require the addition of ALL.

As for PROP@ARL etc - there was no problems for decades to share that area same as WW - just include ARL and ARRL
to "AT" field of any bbs-parnter that wants to get this bulls.
Same for xxxxx@AMSAT - just add 'amsat' to "AT" field.
There are no any reason to change original destinantion of that bulls to USA/WW or something else!
Please keep that special bulls areas as in original, i.e. @AMSAT, @ARL etc.
73, Sergej.
