[ILQSO] County line operations.

[ki9a]

Yikes..."straddle" the county lines? What if you are using a vertical?
I think 50-100 yards is plenty, it gives teams an oppurtunity to do an operation within the spirit of the rules, wbile remaining safe and easy to accomplish.

Tim,As I recall the discussion was that 100 yards seemed to be the acceptable limit. At Lake SangChris this was never an issue since our antennas actually straddled the county line.Don, w9EBK

This by no means "official" but it seems like in years past when the 
SVRC operated Sangamon/Christian at Lake Sangchris we were told we 
needed to be within 50 yards of the line. Perhaps Don W9EBK will weigh 
in, I believe he coordinated that effort.
