The Radio Amateurs
of Canada has split its Ontario Section into four new sections, effective
September 1. They are: Ontario North (ONN), Ontario East (ONE), Greater Toronto
Area (GTA) and Ontario South (ONS). The ARRL Letter reports that
the change was made for administrative purposes. The new regions will change
the total number of possible sections for ARRL contests that use ARRL/RAC
sections as multipliers (Sweepstakes and the ARRL 160-Meter Contest) or as part
of the exchange (SS, 160 and Field Day). A "clean sweep" in the
November Sweepstakes will now require 83 multipliers.
