[Trlog] New ARRL sections for Ontario

Greetings to all TR Log users.

The latest issue of QST reminds everybody that future ARRL contests 
which use ARRL sections will have to take into account the new Ontario 
sections: GTA, ONE, ONN and ONS in place of the single section: ON.

I haven't seen any discussion about how this will affect TR Log. 
Obviously, TR Log must be modified to use these new sections.

Probably most of you have already done the required changes, but in case 
anybody is wondering what to do, here is what I did.

The DOM file ARRLSECT.DOM is the one which must be modified. Using 
Notepad I made the following changes:

Deleted the line: On = ON, VE3

Added the following lines:

Gta = GTA
One = ONE
Onn = ONN
Ons = ONS

and then saved the file.

These changes seem to work. Testing with a trial ARRL 160 contest 
everything worked properly with the new sections.

So, unless I have overlooked something it seems that this is all that 
needs to be done.

That's another of the advantages of a  non-windows program like TR Log !
