I purpose we move the club center to 37 39'52"N 77 54'23"W for ARRL Contest in the Local Club Category. By moving the center to these coordinates it'll allow CVCC to maximize our score when submitting logs from the current membership. The purposed coordinates are near the Beaumont Correctional Center off Route 522 in Powhatan County close to the James River.

GPS Coordinates for K2WK,WA4PGM, and K4KJL are actual. W4TNX was taken from Google Earth. The rest of the current membership is within the circle to the best of my knowledge.

The following are correct to the best of my knowledge but suggest CVCC form a committee to verify all calculations before approval. For results I used the following distance calculator: http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~cvm/latlongdist.html

WA4PGM - Distance to 37 20'40"N 78 24'01"W is 34.9910 statute miles

K4KJL - Distance to 37 24'26"N 77 21'26"W is 34.9834 statute miles

K2WK - Distance to 38 06'18"N 78 12'38"W is 34.7032 statute miles

W4TNX - Distance to 37 19'55"N 77 26'09"W is 34.5795 statute miles

ARRL Contest General Rules:

In lieu of mailing a list within 30 days after the end of each contest, the club may designate its Secretary or Scorekeeper to submit their club's eligibility roster electronically to a secure web site (if available). The designated club official may update the electronic eligibility list by the start of each ACC contest as new members join the club or established members no longer meet the eligibility requirements. The designated club official must contact the ARRL Contest Branch Manager in order to obtain access to the secure website.

8.3.3.2. Failure by the club to submit a valid list of member's eligible to submit scores for the club either electronically or by mail may result in the club being declared ineligible for the Club Competition event in question.

8.4.3. Local
