Even more confusing. I worked a VY2 and he sent PE, not PEI, but WriteLog
accepted it and scored it correctly.

I too was confused by the abbreviations during RTTY RU. So here is
the mults as listed in the RTTY RU Rules....
5.2. Multipliers: Each US state (except KH6 and KL7) plus the
District of Columbia (DC), Canadian provinces/territories: NB (VE1,
9), NS (VE1), QC (VE2), ON (VE3), MB (VE4), SK (VE5), AB (VE6),
BC (VE7), NWT (VE8), NF (VO1), LB (VO2), NU (VYØ), YT (VY1),
PEI (VY2) and each DXCC country. KH6 and KL7 count only as
separate DXCC entities.

In the Cabrillo header, the LOCATION: line should be your ARRL/RAC
section. (Non-US/VE stations insert 'DX'.) Nunavut is in the
Northern Territories RAC section, 'NT'. But the contest exchange in
RTTY Round-Up does not use sections, rather states and provinces.
Therefore, Nunavut is 'NU' in the exchange. It is confusing.
One participant told me he was frustrated when you kept sending 'NU'
to his request for a number. Turns out he mis-read your call as
YV0/VE3VID. Several ways to be confused. ;>)
