Hmmm... I'm not entirely sure myself. (I can hear you groaning already) :)

Oh, you're looking for some kind of 'drive-by' HERF gun, eh? :)
Ummm... well as I understand it, some (most?) HERF guns use some kind of
waveguide around the antenna to prevent the signal from leaking all over
the place (like backfiring and destroying any electronic equipment sitting
behind you or something). Again, HERF guns really aren't my territory --
I'm just relaying what I know.

Heh - yeah. I'm sure the FCC would have a ball with anyone walking about
blowing people off the air (just like the old CB-stomping days, eh?)
> Plans!! Address!!! URL!!! Thanks!!!
I'm pretty sure there's some plans floating around somewhere. When you get
some free time, just hop on Altavista or something and search for HERF,
and you're *BOUND* to run into SOMETHING. (Or search for "HERF FAQ" -- god
knows somebody out there probably has a FAQ related to building them --
I mean, the 'net is FAQ-happy... when you can find FAQs on constructing
skateboard ramps and potato-guns, you *KNOW* there's a good chance that
when you really need something, you'll probably find it). :)
