[SCCC] ARRL 175 mile radius rule

[Alan Zack]

Hi Bill,
Where does the 175 mile radius for the SCCC originate from?
Reason I ask is I see many Northern Nevada Hams post their contest scores on the 
reflectors showing membership in the NCCC so the club gets the points.
I still haven't figured out the distance rule as far as the SCCC goes.  I
used to submit my contest logs showing SCCC as my club when I was K6ACZ in So.
CA.  Now that I am in Las Vegas am I still within the distance limits to still
be part of the SCCC?
Jeff, WK6I, was kind enough to send me a program to calculate the distance but I 
need a starting point on your end.  For example, if the starting point was 
Barstow the distance would be 152 miles and I would be within 175 miles, if it 
was Riverside the distance would be 194 miles and I would be out of range.
I would like to be able to have my contest scores count towards the SCCC totals 
if possible.  There is no contest club here in Vegas for me to help out.
I could even try to recruit W7EB and W6SA, both formerly from Southern CA, who 
are also Vegas contesters to help out the club scores.
CU in Visalia next year.
73, Alan, K7ACZ, ex K6ACZ
