Hi Lee,

No, I have not received an answer…which is a little surprising given the amount of effort that went into picking it. If anyone can remember the approximate timeframe, I can go back into the SECC reflector and try and find it there. It was sometime after I turned the Presidency over to NQ4I, which would be around August 1, 2007.

If no one knows, I will try to guess it from the circle on the current website, with an eye to keeping everybody currently in, still in. Our new website will have the coordinates listed. I have a note into KX9X – its possible Sean has the data.

This is more than idle curiosity. We just added another new member who appears to be on or near the line up around Charlotte. In the welcome notes – which you have started to see on the reflector but which are also followed by ones via private email – I need to let new members know if they are inside or outside our circle. The secretary also needs this to inform the ARRL eight times a year about who is eligible for the eight ARRL contests that have affiliated club competitions. To do this well, I need everyone who entered a given contest to post their score here – PLEASE! Unfortunately, ARRL will not accept a simple roster as an indication of who is elegible.

I am in the process of adding the latitude and longitude math into the Excel spreadsheet that contains the roster, so in the future we will have an instant answer to within a tenth of a mile of a station’s distance from the circle center….but before it can be used….we need a center of course.

Anybody have the info??

I want to publicly thank Lee, WI4R, for turning over a very clean and accurate roster. Lee labored along nearly invisibly for the last two years doing a first rate job – thanks Lee!!!!

73,

Hal N4GG

Did you get an answer? I have a couple of maps with circles but I’m not sure what the final verdict was.
