Sadly, that does seem to be the issue with this thread.

Tom, it depends on how big your QTH is:

(f) All operation must take place from one operating site. Transmitters and
receivers must be located within a 500-meter diameter circle or within the
property limits of the station licensee, whichever is greater. All antennas
must be physically connected by wires to the transmitters and receivers used
by the entrant.

One rule for the rich, and one for the rest of us!

Danny, G3XVR

Isnt there a 500m rule for antennas?
