[ILQSO] On Lake Carlyle...

[KI9A at aol.com]

Let me re-phrase this a bit...
 
maybe 20 years ago, what would a normal ham, who doesn't know jack about  
stars, and navigating, and before gps do in this case?
 
The ham would get as close as he thinks it is, and get on the air. Look, I  
understand the rules, but, if the line is a few hundred feet out in the 
water,  and, a state park is onshore, that's where we should be operating from. 
 
just my 2 cents..
 
73 and cant wait to see everyone next Sunday! Chuck KI9A

I know  you said "and don't say GPS", but that is exactly how I would do
it.   IF your GPS can identify county lines (some do) then it should be
pretty  easy.
