I think that's a very good idea and I imagine that more folks than me have
faced the same problem when working state contests sponsored by AL, TN, and
FL. However, I'm unsure about the "200 miles" definition. Why couldn't we
simply say any state whose border touches GA?
This isn't by any chance the same Bob Good that once belonged to the
Atlanta Teenage Radio Club is it?
