Dave,
Just to show you what I have, here is a screen capture I just took of the 727 VOR tuned to JHW 114.7 and tracking inbound to the VOR on the 096 degree radial at 71 DME.
The GPS shows the COHOW intersection as slightly to the right less than an 1/8 of a mile.
* Remember, you must change over to the JHW VOR at the changeover point which is shown on the high altitude chart with an X.
This is a blow-up of the HSI showing the plane is slightly north of course which confirms the GPS.
Note: At sixty miles, one degree is one mile wide. This HSI indication would be very close and no ATC would ever even question the position.
