    Darn, havn't had some chocolate ice cream since December, BMI wasn' t real great on last DOT physical ( Dr could of ordered sleep apnea sleep study) so I started DASH diet on January 1st, have lost 30 lbs so far, ice cream isnt allowed, BMI is much improved.

    Exactly, it doesn't take into account lean muscle mass, using BMI charts , most the running backs in the NFL are considered obese, and boy is that inaccurate, these genetic freaks are 6'2" 235lbs, 10% bodyfat and far from obese, cant believe DOT was even convinced by some quack medical authority to even utilize them in their screening procedure, the physicians must not be enforcing them though, just look at the buffet line.

    Your BMI is 38 and the DOT limit for sleep apnea test is 35.

    I did see a plate that attaches behind the light above rear window that uses the same screws to secure it and then use a mag mount antenna, may go that route, unless I can find a place in Bradenton to drill a hole, either way have to install a cb so when Im up in Michigan I can get a hold of you.

    I was reading on Thunderpole about ground planes, and it states that even though aluminum is an excellent conductor it is not a good ground plane for a cb antenna, so drilling a hole wouldnt be that good ,true or false?

    OMG here we go with the ground planes ... look I will be blunt about this ... ignore that bullsh***.

    I have to provide a little secret about aluminum, it is used in base antennas where there is ground plane elements.

    I have a DIRECT connection with ford aluminum truck, I won't reveal it but needless to say most of the problems related to it have to do with a lack of grounds.

    If you don't want to do it yourself, then go to a place where they install commercial mobile units and pay for it to be done right.
