/If ARRL contemplates any rule changes (nobody is saying they are) how 
about this one? Allow me to enter SS and actually send an exchange that 
says WHERE I ACTUALLY AM ! ! ! ie "NB"...hello ! It's a real Province. 
Same as RI, WI or NV... Not lump me into an arbitrary RAC section and 
have to send "MAR"? /Mike,

Everyone appreciates the participation from MAR/. /Even NL was well represented this year!  Unfortunately the multipliers for Sweepstakes/are /ARRL sections not states and provinces.//So if you had each of the MAR Provinces as multipliers then you would have to change the multiplier for states that are split into two sections (For example EPA and WPA) to be consistent. I know this probably not what you wanted to hear :(

BTW I think the sponsors of some of the other contests have granted the wishes of those of you up in the Canadian maritimes. But unfortunately I really don't see an increase in activity up your way in those contests.
