1800 won't start, help. 1800

Drove my 68 1800S around today, parked it in the driveway for about an
hour, went back to it, turned the key and...nothing. No noise, no
click, I just turn the key and the engine doesn't crank (the radio
shuts off in that position, as it should(?)). The battery is fine,
plenty of juice, and I don't think it's the starter since there is
no noise at all and the lights don't even dim when I turn the key. Maybe
the ignition switch went bad? A ground problem? Maybe something got
wet (it's raining here, but the engine compartment is dry)? Fuse? Can I
jump a wire to the starter somewhere to get it to crank? I can't do
the "push the car and pop the clutch in 1st" trick that easy since
the car is on a pitched driveway facing up. Any help is appreciated.
