I placed the lines within the Virtual Host.  So maybe that was my
mistake.  I've been trying to get back my Apache for other internal
sites, however any time I try to change it, the added area goes into a
weird refreshing loop for a Forbidden Page (when I say refreshing loop,
I mean the page displays and then reloads repeatedly).  My http.conf is
the "stock" installation, other than the above.

For example, I added
<directory> DocumentRoot /home/tech </directory>
and other tricks but it always kicks into the unauth or forbid page. 
Sym linking is normally the approach I use ( e.g. ln -s /home/tech
/etc/rt3/share/html/tech ) but the same loop occurs.  I thought maybe
permissions were an issue, but chmod 777 had no effect.

I've spent about 3 or 4 hours on this one issue, so I've spent a little
time but not much.  After spending a month wrestling with RedHat 8,
Mod_perl2 and Apache2 issues with RT, I now have to limit the amount of
time I spend troubleshooting.
