[ILQSO] County Lines

[Danny Pease]

Steve, that should be a much desired location, two of those counties are
normally activated by mobiles only. 

I think the official ruling on how close you need to be is if you cannot
physically be in parts of all counties you want to activate, to be as close
to the actual line or corner as safely possible. I do not remember if there
is an actual number given as being too far, I will let N9JF or one of the
others chime in. 

In most of my looking at county corners and maps, seldom do you find a 3 or
4 county corner that is not a road intersection and we do not want anyone to
put themselves in a potentially dangerous position by operating where they
may be part of or cause of an accident but we do expect them to follow the
spirit of the event and be as safely close to the corner or line as
possible. If you can position your antenna system so it actually occupies
space in all 3 counties, no one can complain a bit, but even that is next to
impossible to do if a road is involved.

I am seriously considering setting up a Portable station on the Henderson,
McDonough and Warren County lines this year, if I can get permission from
the property line.

My question is, how far (in feet) can you be away from the actual line,
before you are no longer considered to be on the County Line?

Thanks for your time,
