[SECC] SECC Activity Map and Club Circle

[Jeff Clarke]

Here is a radius map I drew at 
https://www.mapdevelopers.com/draw-circle-tool.php?circles=%5B%5B281634.5%2C33.398775%2C-82.1625548%2C%22%23AA4F2E%22%2C%22%23000000%22%2C0%5D%5D 
You can zoom in and see that K4BAI, N4DU and K2SX would be inside the 
175 mile ARRL circle.
