[ILQSO] County Lines

Fri, 6 Sep 2002 12:54:16 -0500

Mr. Matz has a good point. Rereading Craig's original message:

"My name is Jeff Wilkins,WW9CW, and I want to know how close to the county
line do you have to be? I have a three county line I want to use and it is
in the middle of the Rock River. I can get to the bank, I think, and would
like to know if this would count as the county line."

If you assume a mobile operation there is most likely a problem but if he
signs WW9CW/P and throws a rock with a ground wire attached across the
river, what's the problem?

Quite honestly I'm (still) a proponent of mobiles being mobile and portables
sitting on county lines...................

If you can run one ground wire out to the marker at the corner of four
counties and it counts, why can't you tie a ground wire to a rock and
throw it across the river?  What's the difference?
