Looks like another update to the .DAT files is in order.  I'll try to get
it done before the end of the month.  Look for an update on this reflector.

>The addition of a new section could prove to be a significant

>and work. (A heads up: Ellam says RAC has also explored the
>possibility of creating additional new sections north of the border,
>but no decisions have been reached yet.) The change also means that
>those who use computerized logging programs will have to add the new
>section to their program's list of SS sections--just as they had to
