RAC and ARRL are separate organizations and moving at different speeds (in this
case). Personally, i would like to see ARRL use Canadian provinces instead of
RAC sections.
It is funny how so much of the energy for Sweepstakes comes from making a clean
sweep rather than max score. That does put a very small number of northern
Canadians in demand. Now we will have one less, but the hunt for the sweep will
continue.
