[CQ-Contest] Radio Amateurs of Canada Winter Contest December 17, 2022

[VE5CPU]

Hi Dennis

Based on the announcement from earlier this year, In May 2022, the Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) announced that the number of Sections will increase by 1 from Jan 01st 2023. The Maritime (MAR) section is abolished, to be replaced by 2 single-province sections: New Brunswick (NB) and Nova Scotia (NS). 

This is also reported at: https://maritimeamateur.ca/news-information

There is no impact to either the RAC Canada Winter contest or Canada Day contest as they do not use these RAC (RAC Field Organization) sections as their multipliers
