Above comment heard around noon today during ARRL DX Contest. Of course I replied “Yes, smallest state of the 50”. Not a very surprising question, since RI is just a blip on the map between Conn. and Mass. Only 48 miles long and 37 miles wide!
RI Trivia: Besides being the smallest state it has a very high percentage of forest (mostly the western half of the state), making its population density even higher.
