Hello, Anyone remember Ed Juge? I worked for him back when he had his electronics shop on the South Freeway in Fort Worth. His wife got a new car, a little Porsche 911 and she wanted a Ham radio installed so she could use the local .94/10-4 repeater, Ed knew better than to try and install it on the roof. As a joke, he took a Larson gain antenna and set it on top of the car's roof while calling her to come see his handywork. Jo walked in, you could hear the scream all over the building! The customers were wondering what was happening!
Sorry for the off-topic story but seemed appropriate!

Of course, I've always sworn by using Greenlee punches for the hole too (none of those stepped drill bits for me!) My wife didn't even question me, other than "what took you so long"?
