	Tom:

I'll definitely let all of you know how it performs if we decide to go down
that route.
Here's an interesting side note.  A private individual is wanting to donate
the new, still in the box, Chameleon to me for use at one of our remote
antenna installations. 
Yeah...what a deal, huh?

    Michael:

Well, if you do get one, let us know how it performs.

I always have an open mind on these sorts of things, and do realize the
need for compromise antennas at times.
