I want to try it. Just FYI, I've picked up a few bits and piece from a company in Florida called "Fleeman Anderson & Bird." They have a ton of stuff, including panel antennas and many other things. They're at http://www.fab-corp.com/index.htm I'll bet they'll have something that will solve (or at least alleviate) your problem. I have no association with them, btw, I'm just a satisfied customer. -- Frank Mayhar frank@exit.com http://www.exit.com/ Exit Consulting http://www.gpsclock.com/ http://www.exit.com/blog/frank/
