Clearly my circle is too big, but it does follow the instructions of the tutorial.
I'm thinking that there's some bonehead common sense procedure that every captain worth his weight in salt already knows. Except me.
Small Edit..... I DID scale my circle down until it cut through the line between myself and the contact... and when that happened, the circle ended up cutting through that line in 2 locations. And the distance of the circle was not any factor of 12. So.... that confused me even more.
Thanks again, in advance, for any help you can provide.

Yes, I see what you are missing. Due to your multiplication by 10 the red circle encompasses the entire distance from you to the target. The easy solution would be not to enlarge by 10, but just draw 1 for 1. (like Sublynx did in the later message with multiple images: #9, but that was apparently 3 for 1 )
Alternatively, if you didn't want to redraw the whole thing. The propper course of action (no pun) would be to extend the line between the target and you beyond your actual location. This is allowed because the line between you and the contact is supposed to be a bearingline extending into infinity. It shouldn't really stop where you are. The length of it is of no concern for the intercept course. Just as long as that green protractor angle has the corner at where you are.
You are forgiven, for it wasn't really explained in the Hunt thread. See the following image:
