The problem is that the ARRL/RAC run events like sweepstakes on a section basis. As it stands now, you're in the MAR province. If you want to be viewed as differently, you're going to have to convince RAC that you have enough infrastructure support to break away one or more of the provinces from the Maritime section.


The same issue was addressed by the DC hams who wanted to be a separate multiplier for separate events. Where states and provinces were counted as states and provinces (ARRLDX, ARRL 10, etc.), DC wanted to be treated as a separate entity. Where the ARRL counted the multiplier based on a "section" basis (i.e., Sweeps), the ham community wanted to make clear that there was not enough separation for DC to be classifiable as a separate ARRL section.


Same thing applies to the MAR section.
