Mike -  Would you please forward this to the group.  Hopefully it will at least 
stir up some discussion

Greetings all from NB -
Be advised I fully support Mike on Mults be for provinces.  Normally I seem to 
get on for a few contacts only now days.  Seldom every submit my logs as I have 
more wall paper than I need Having been an active ham and contester  since 
1965.  
I do find it a bit of a pain sending MAR as the section especially knowing that 
each one of our Provinces has its own government. I can't tell you how many 
times I hear MAR ..--.. in a contest.  To the point in some contests I just 
shut down.
Hopefully in my lifetime someone will see fit to address this issue.  Over the 
years I have had many personal discussions with the league, RAC and to this 
point after hearing leave it with me.  We are still at the same spot.
SS is this weekend - Yes I will be on and will likely hang in there until I 
hear MAR?
Just put yourself in our place.  After a bit I am sure you will see Mike's 
point.
Come on you all... it is time to take a serious look at the mult's in some of 
these contests.
I honestly feel - If the ARRL would make the move, others would follow suit.
Be BOLD.
73 Andy (VE9DX)  Previously VE1ASJ, VE1DX, CY0SPI, VE8CW, VO2AB - just to name 
a few.
For the record - I am a Life Member of both the ARRL and RAC.
