Actually, my program calculated it to be 362.7 miles.
And now for a News FLASH from a major source
-----------------------------------------------------------
In other action Tuesday, the US Supreme Court agreed to hear an appeal
involving an
amateur radio operator who says the city of Rancho Palos Verdes,
Calif.,
unjustly denied him a permit to use a radio antenna for commercial
purposes.
At issue is whether the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996
provides for
money damages from city officials in cases of violations, or simply a
court
order requiring the city's compliance. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals
ruled the radio operator was entitled to compensation.
