My recollection was that the PAQP used RAC sections, or Canadian provinces 
rather than ARRL sections, as multipliers.  This allows PEI, NS, and NB to be 
counted individually as 3 mults., rather than collectively as the Maritimes.  
Some VE's raised the point that New England wasn't counted as 1 multiplier so 
why should the Maritimes, with 3 provincial governments, be counted as a single 
entity?

 According to a post today on the ARRL web page (www.arrl.org), for the
 purposes of ARRL contests that use ARRL & RAC sections as multipliers, the
 Northwest Territory (VE8), Yukon Territory (VY1) and Nunavut Territory (VY0)
 are now grouped together as a single multiplier, designated NT for Northern
 Territories.  This will be effective November 1st.

 Considering that the Pa QSO Party also uses ARRL sections as multipliers, is
 there any thought (if not for this year at this late date but for 2004) for
 making the PaQP section multipliers consistent with this?
