"You cannae break the laws of physics capn" as Scotty once said. I work with radios and sometimes putting a handheld transceive ron the roof of a car can bring up signal strengths by several times (this is due to the ground plane effect). You don't need to physically connect something in order for it to have an effect with RF. -- Gordon Hudson || Hostroute.com Ltd e-mail:ghudson [at] hostroute.net http://www.hostroute.co.uk/resellers Host 5 web sites for �9 per month http://www.nameroute.co.uk/ Domain Names with free hosting and email
