mmckenna, I see an opportunity in it for you: Merit badges for the vests. You could be the one to distribute the "I Drilled the Damn Hole" merit badges!

I like it!

Where do I apply for that particular merit badge? I went ahead and drilled the damn hole in my F150 and I'm happier for it (so is my Icom ID5100).

Of course, it's a used truck (I wouldn't drill a new truck until it was paid off), but still...

The hole is supposed to go top dead center right? I may have only one chance at this.

Yup, that's where the Bill Gates/5G chip goes. Top of the skull gives the best propagation. Really helps if you have a steel plate in your head to act as a ground plane.

Whatever you do, don't don your aluminum foil hat after installation, and make sure you are properly grounded per NEC.

Ummm...do you realize how difficult it is to walk when connected to a ground rod with #4 solid wire?

Ohhh...now I feel dizzy. I don't think I am going to be able to walk too far. My line of sight is not going to be too good on the ground and horizontal. Dang it, I knew that wasn't the right spot.

Well, there's your problem right there. You should be using stranded.
