[ILQSO] County lines

[w9dp at w9dp.us]

The intent is to have some part of your station occupying each county you
are claiming to operate in. In some cases that could be very hard to do and
possibly dangerous. In practice most take some liberty and set up at a safe
location as close as they can be to being in all 2, 3 or 4 counties. A few
have abused that and do what is easiest even though they may be able to be
closer. A set distance has never been agreed on and even if it was, it is
still noy something that can easily be enforced, hence a "gentlemen's
agreement".

It is something that has come up before,  I suspect sooner or later the ILQP
committee will have to address it.

I'll let N9JF chime in with his thoughts.

Is there a "gentlemen's agreement" as to the flexibility in setting up
portable stations?

For example, a portion of the antenna passes over the county lines,
transmitter within a certain number of feet from the county line, etc?

Tnx and 73,
