I can't say I know how to split hairs on the rules, but why not just plant the 
tower or antenna exactly on the 4 corners marker and claim all four states at 
the same time.  I mean really, do we think there will be an actual difference 
in the operating challenge if the antenna moves 3 inches? 

BTW, I'm hoping to operate rover in this summers vhf/uhf contests from FN41, 
FN42, FN51 and FN52 which I'm pretty sure is completely water bound.

I can recall of a proposed MS operations, from the AZ, NM, CO & UT
Four Corners area, in the late '50s, when Ed Tilton (50 MHz and Up
editor) cautioned the operators, to make certain that the station (or
at least the antenna) physically be moved into each state to qualify
as a separate State.
