Jim,
New .CRT files are not necessary for this change. In the PA QSO Party,
NA get's its multiplier info from multiplier (.mlt) files, which are
simple ASCII text files which can be easily edited with a text editor
like Windows Notepad.
PAQP participants outside of PA using NA get their multiplier info from
the file PACTY.MLT, which as the filename suggests contains PA county
info. This file does not need to be changed as it contains only PA
counties and so it is not affected by the recent rule change.
PAQP participants inside PA using NA get their multiplier info from the
file PAQSO.MLT. This file contains PA county information, plus section
and VE province information. I'll update this file to the new rules and
get it posted on the Datom Engineering web site
(http:www.datomonline.com) in a day or two. I'll post an announcement
here on the reflector so people will know the updated file is available.
Thanks for the reminder.

The Pennsylvania QSO Party has changed their multiplier list for 2016, adding
the four Ontario sections. Has, or will, an updated CRT file be available?

Good day, all,
Starting this year, the PAQSO Party will be changing the multipliers for the VE
Sections. While there is truly no standard listing, it does not seem fair to not use
the 4 new Ontario sections as multipliers. In the search for a standardized listing,
and with none found, we have decided to go with the Canadian multiplier list that the
ARRL uses for most of it’s contests. Which are:
MAR -VE1 and VY2
NL -V01 and VO2
QC -VE2
ONN -VE3
ONS -VE3
ONE -VE3
GTA -VE3
MB -VE4
SK -VE5
AB -VE6
BC -VE7
NT -VE8, VY1, and VY0
N1MM N3FJP and Writelog have been advised, and if anyone has software they use,
and would like me to advise the writers of the changes, let me know.
