Actually, the "pie slice" shape would be more technically
correct as Frank, K3UHF pointed out earlier. The Absolute
Max. distance between home and QTH#1 is 200 Km, and the DX
to QTH #2, three, etc. could be no more than 200Km away
from home or QTH#1... just to be safe. To draw this on a
map, dig out the divider and scale, place pivot of divider
at home QTH. Spread divider to 200Km scale, pick a point
to operate from. Swing an arc 100km either side of the
point, (linear distance, but on the arc) draw lines from
these points on the arc back to home. Everything inside
this space could be considered "safe"
for awards purposes, I think...
