Thanks, Marty.  I looked at the file and also saw this:

VY1=YT

Now I'm confused - if Writelog thinks that the province name should be 
"YUK" (Contest -> Show Multipliers) then why does VY1 map to YT, a 
previously non-existent alias?

Furthermore, the abbreviation on the ARRL Form for the RTTY Roundup ( 
http://www.arrl.org/contests/forms/rttyform.pdf ) is YT, not 
YUK.  Therefore, the Show Multipliers box should show the given 
abbreviation on the form, not YUK.

Finally, VY0 (Nunavut) is listed on the form but is not in the namedmul.ini 
file for the RU.

It looks like the namedmul.ini file needs some work.

- Jim
