[SCCC] New VE3 Sections and Contests Affected

[H Lawrence Serra]

Everyone  please note the new VE3 sections do not affect all contests equally. 
From ARRL page:

"This new change will affect ARRL contests and Field Day in the following ways:
	* For ARRL contests that use ARRL/RAC sections as multipliers -- the November 
Sweepstakes and the ARRL 160 Meter Contest -- there will be an overall increase 
of three available multipliers.
	* ARRL contests that use US states and Canadian provinces as multipliers -- the 
ARRL RTTY Roundup, the ARRL International DX Contest and the ARRL 10 Meter 
Contest -- are unaffected by this change. ARRL VHF+ contests and the IARU HF 
Championships are also unaffected by this change.
	* The first contest to be affected by the RAC administrative change will be the 
2012 ARRL November Sweepstakes, which will now require 83 multipliers to achieve 
a Clean Sweep.
	* ARRL Field Day does not use multipliers, but beginning in 2013, Ontario 
stations will send their new Section abbreviations as part of their exchanges."
