On January 1, 1999 the new territory of Nunuvut will be carved out of
the existing NWT. Industry Canada has advised the new territory will use
the "VY0" prefix with the remaining portion of the NWT continuing to use
"VE8". The postal code identifier is "NU".
As the resident amateur population totals some 25 hams RAC plans to
make no changes to its present sections. For contest purposes it will
remain part of VY1/VE8.
