Reply to "Apples & Oranges - Beware!"

The corollaries to this could be:

    If you measure a calibration course, send a map in with the forms so it can be certified. Then its length and location will be posted on the Internet, available to other measurers, and there won't be any doubt about either, and:

    If you didn't measure an uncertified calibration course, don't calibrate on it.


A few years ago an experienced measurer calibrated on a certified calibration course in downtown Chicago and thought that the 300 meter calibration course was 1000 feet long. The measurement was one of those last-second affairs and, predictably, resulted in a 9842 meter 10K course.

I contacted him immediately after I discovered the error- but at this point don't recall how the issue was eventually resolved...
