The NWZ in Alton Bay does start at the Bandstand. I think J.A.B.'s point is that in looking at the new buoy off the Alton docks, he thinks that he was more than that distance from the MP's boat when he was cited (see story above). The problem is that with these citations it's not measured via any equipment, it's just the officer's best judgement. Usually I don't think they'll stop you for being 145' instead of 150', under 75' (if they notice it) probably will get you cited. The flip side is that your in the same "boat" as the MP as you have only your best judgement as to whether you're more than 150' from anything. Hmmm, perhaps there's a business opportunity here, creating a low powered, single antenna, radar system that measure from, say 50' - 500', so people can
know how far away they really are. If it sold for, I dunno, under $100, there might be a (small) market. Then perhaps a handheld version with a directional antenna and compass, so the MP could measure distance and bearing from himself to any 2 objects and compute the differential btw them. That one would have to stand up in court, betcha I could charge a lot more for this baby. Hmmm ...
