Actually - TR isn't smart enough to know what province a VE call is in.
This is partially because of the three different modes that the provinces
can be in (8, 12, or 13).  I guess you can take your log from this contest
and export the QTHs to the TRMASTER database and at least they will come
up next time.  Perhaps I will add something for VE2-VE7 and leave the
tricky ones up to the operator - but I tend to think that having it work
in some cases and not others makes it more trouble than it is worth.

I have never understood YT - I guess it stands for Yukon Territory?  I will
add it however.
