[SECC] SECC Circle Proposal

[ku8e]

I don't have a mapping program but I do have Google Earth. I played around with the measuring tool and found a good location that might
work for us. The center would be near the county line of southwest Burke County and northwest Jenkins County, GA.  Closest town is Birdsville, GA 

I bet no one has ever explored the circle being in this part of GA. If you draw a line from Columbus, GA  (K4BAI) to Pawley Island, SC (K2SX) it is exactly 350 miles (1/2 of 175 miles)

Using this center the club circle would cover most of GA except the extreme Northwest (up to Bartow County) and Southwest parts of the state. It would also cover most of South Carolina. The following big cities would be within our circle : Jacksonville, FL , Charlotte, NC (just south) and Savannah, GA. The 250 mile CQ circle looks even better. Plus I don't think we would lose any of our current members excpt those in Al.

Here are some distances for current members of SECC :

K4BAI - Columbus                 175. miles
W4OC- Boiling Springs, SC    150.09 miles
AA4GA - Cornelia, GA           139 miles
N4GG - Woodstock, GA        163.5 miles
W4BQF - Hahira,GA              150 miles
KF4GTA - Valdosta, GA         157 miles
K4EA - Canton, GA               167 miles
KT4ZB - Savannah, GA           81 miles
WY4N - Bamburg, SC             61 miles
