Those of us who play with radio know that a good ground plane is important for best performance out of an antenna. One of the best ways to improve your ground plane is to have more metal in the ground connected to your ground rod--it's a simple matter of surface area. Burying radial wires is good; putting lots more metal (like sheet or mesh) is even better. A trip to your friendly scrap dealer is a great way to augment your antenna system.





Yup. That.


1) It's not an ex post facto law. That's a common misunderstanding. Ex post facto means declaring it illegal retroactively--passing a law today to say it was illegal to possess it yesterday. This isn't doing that; this is passing a law (or interpretation) today that makes it illegal to possess tomorrow (well, in 90 days). No retroactive effect, no ex post facto violation.

2) This isn't a "takings" issue under the Fifth Amendment. That refers to "taking for public use," as you note--this is simply declaring it contraband, and offering a means of compliance (get rid of it by giving it to us).

3) Yes, volunteering that you are committing a felony is a bad idea. In general, volunteering anything to the police, feds, etc. is a bad idea. There's no constitutional violation if you volunteer it, though; the Fifth Amendment only forbids .gov to "compel" someone to be a witness against himself.
For number 2, isn't "public safety" a public use?
