[PaQSO] PAQSO announcements

[Michael Coslo]

The Special event station for the 2010 version of the PAQSO party is The
Skyview Radio Society - K3MJW. There were some good candidates this year,
but Skyview is celebrating their 50th anniversary, plus they are getting
their station on the air after repairs from storm damage.

More details forthcoming.


Much of the rules and summary have references to the Special event station,
so the rules and the forms are not up to date. This will happen soon.

Remember that ALL CW QSOs are now 2 points. If your software hasn't been
updated, you'll need to correct that on the summary sheet.

Canadian sections have also been changed.


Nova Scotia                      NS   (VE1)
Quebec                            QC   (VE2)
Ontario                             ON   (VE3)
Manitoba                          MB   (VE4)
Saskatchewan                  SK   (VE5)
Alberta                             AB   (VE6)
British Columbia                BC   (VE7)
Northwest Territories         NT   (VE8)
New Brunswick                 NB   (VE1, VE9)
Newfoundland-Labrador*   NL   (VO1, VO2)
Nunavut                           NU   (VY0)
Yukon Territories                YT   (VY1)
Prince-Edward Island        PE   (VY2)

The log writers have been informed and should all be changed by now.

I'm going to be gentle in interpreting the VE sections - as I always have
been. The problem isn't with us, it is that there is no standard. Even the
ARRL has contests with different sections. But we're probably in the
majority now. In the end, It's an addition of Nunavut and that some others
were merged.

Remember that the mugs are history.

We've now reached the point where I don't see many if any rules changes
coming along. At this moment we are pretty well placed for at least several
years.
