Ve3 is simply no longer just ON....<br><br>a partial clip follows from <a href="http://radio-sport.net">http://radio-sport.net</a><br><span><h5><p>
Now the VE3 prefix will take more than just a quick "ON" in your log

"The ARRL has recognized the change and they will be effective for the
2012 NOVEMBER SWEEPSTAKES," the ARRL notice reads, urging contesters to
update their contest computer programs before November.

"Be sure to check/update your logging software to be sure whatever you are using recognizes these new multipliers."
</p><p>
The change is also certain to mean new records could be set in almost
every category in this year's ARRL SS CW and SSB contests - as three
extra multipliers could certainly boost the scores above the marks now
on the books. <br></p><p><br></p><p>Going to be interesting for sure !!!</p><p>This on the heals of CQ announcing shorter log turn in deadlines (which I am in favor of)<br></p><p>seems like something is in the water at the contest sponsors home's :)<br>
