OK - well, I had a hand in it ... let's see:
(sorry if this wraps)
Canada NS: 05: 08: NA: 42.08859 : 98.64997: 5.0: VE1:
Canada QC: 05: 08: NA: 47.58867 : 73.96715: 5.0: VE2:
Canada NB: 05: 08: NA: 46.46553 : 66.04511: 5.0: VE9:
Canada NF: 05: 08: NA: 48.47872 : 55.46629: 5.0: VO1:
That kind of sticks out like a sore thumb! Ugh!
VE1 looks to be somewhere in the middle of Nebraska US.
And indeed it is - it seems to be a cut and paste error,
as the VE1 coordinates are the same as the W0 coordinates!
I don't have my original notes handy on what I had chosen
for the centre of NS - but if we use Halifax the line should
read as follows:
Canada NS: 05: 08: NA: 44.65370 : 63.59988: 5.0: VE1:
Thank you for pointing this out!
