Do You Know? A Trivia Answer for Our Readers:
Last week, ARRL News Editor S. Khrystyne Keane, K1SFA, told ARRL Letter
readers about the long and proud history of the ARRL Sweepstakes
http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2009/10/29/11170/?nc=1, mentioning
that at one point, The Philippines was a multiplier in the Sweepstakes,
as was Cuba (as part of the West Indies Section). We wondered what
years that The Philippines and the West Indies Sections ceased to be
multipliers in Sweepstakes. Unfortunately, we didn't receive any
correct answers. The Philippines was no longer a Section as of 1946 and
in August 1988, two new Sections -- Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands
-- replaced the West Indies Section (Cuba disappeared from the West
Indies Section in 1940). Thanks to everyone who sent in answers. Look
for another trivia question in a future edition of The ARRL Letter.
