Byron,
It is actually even easier than you have described using your modified 2102-D or a regular 2102-D and a dated/timed radar plotting sheet. The Aries zero is placed on the date 10/11/2010 and the latitude template is set to 0602 UT (sunrise). 98° amplitude, 7° declination, and zero degrees altitude now all intersect. This is then the place on the base disc to pencil in the Sun for the days work to follow.
