Rhode Island is a state???

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.
