We do have some great ones. It's possible I might seek out a hilltop
location to stay out of the way of the incident and to ensure the
best coverage to other handhelds in the area.
(I have a bed in the back of the van so I can just crawl in and pull
the covers over my head in case a storm's in the area. Maybe I
should pack a camcorder along to record the fireworks.)

I wondered if I would be doing more harm than good with a separate
ground to the frame of the van. I guess the idea is to avoid any
differences in the voltage potential between any of the system
components.
