Which of the following is NOT a V9 radial path segment?

V9 radial path segments are defined by following a specific VOR radial from a named VOR and terminating at another navigational aid that lies on that same radial. The format “OriginRadial/Destination” shows the origin VOR and the exact radial to the destination VOR or fix on that radial. So, moving along SQS on the 341-degree radial to UJM fits this pattern, as do the segments from MCB on 001 to MHZ on 179, and from MHZ on 350 to SQS on 171, because in each case the endpoint lies on the stated radial from the origin VOR. The entry “SQS023 to HLI” suggests tracing the 023-degree radial from the SQS VOR to HLI. If HLI is not located on that 023 radial (for example, it isn’t a valid VOR/intersection that lies on that radial), then this path would not constitute a proper V9 radial segment. That mismatch is why this one isn’t a V9 segment.
