That is interesting.  It begs the question why is PEI special for multiplier purposes?

Why PEI vs. the rest of the “Maritimes”?

Seems to me that if you have PEI as a separate section, then you should also have NB and NS as separate sections.
And NFLD and LAB should be separate as well.

For Sweepstakes purposes, why does the ARRL remain committed to honoring new RAC 
(Radio Association of Canada) ARES Sections ?  RAC ARES is splitting PEI from 
Maritime, hence the new SS section.

This is the same reasoning that Ontario was split into 4 SS sections a few years 
ago.

Of course, the ARRL contradicted their own reasoning by splitting Alberta and 
Yukon into different SS sections, even though they are the same RAC ARES section.
