I too was confused by the abbreviations during RTTY RU.  So here is
the mults as listed in the RTTY RU Rules....

5.2. Multipliers: Each US state (except KH6 and KL7) plus the
District of Columbia (DC), Canadian provinces/territories: NB (VE1,
9), NS (VE1), QC (VE2), ON (VE3), MB (VE4), SK (VE5), AB (VE6),
BC (VE7), NWT (VE8), NF (VO1), LB (VO2), NU (VYØ), YT (VY1),
PEI (VY2) and each DXCC country. KH6 and KL7 count only as
separate DXCC entities.
