[CQ-Contest] Section Mlts

[Vernon Erle Ikeda]

   The Post Office changed the abbreviation from PQ to QC about
twenty years ago and I guess that many people are now using
QC as an abbreviation instead.   There is also a political
tie-in of sorts;  PQ is name of the provincial party that
has been advocating separtation from the rest of Canada, so I
think that the more neutral "QC" might more in vouge at the
moment.
