Will do. I've already bought some of the materials and the "interconnect cables" are done. My research/planning/tinkering time for the plates was side-lined this week (class, packing/preparing, IODA TACs, and my girl). I'll get back on the project when we return.
For anyone else building one:
-Remember not to seal the plates together until after you swr the heck out of different internal cable configurations. I'm finding that evenly spaced out zig-zag patterns and random repeating rectangular patterns work well (I removed the plastic, copper and clear plastic shielding from the coax within the plates).
-I'm using plastic for the plates right now due to the fact that I am still testing ideas. I don't recommend anyone use plastic for a final product. Kevlar blunt trauma pads might be a good/inexpensive solution:
