While we're at it, lets get rid of MAR and have the three proper
ones...NS, NB and PEI...I've hated this forever...
Grouping provinces, states or territories together as one contest entity
is meaningless...We're all seperate political entities, we all have
seperate prefixes (except some VE1's in NB who wanted to keep their
original call after VE9 was implemented)...I suspect the groupings
originated because of ham population/individual entity being
small...Well, ND and SD aren't grouped...Neither are WY and ID...
Would make more fun in SS, FD and others, that's for sure...

I read that, read it again, and then read it yet another time. It still doesn't
make sense. I don't operate 'assisted', but the packet-spotting network was
built for those who do. Why in the world should they NOT use it during domestic
contests?
