So I'm nearing the end of my project, and I've talked to my advisor and made a couple more models since then, with one more still on the way. We've decided that the first one was entirely the wrong way to go with it, and have made it more of just a straight up rectangular box, with holes at the top for the antenna and the element, and an opening at the bottom to slip the microphone in. We've started it at about 1.4 cm thick, and then we've but it down to 0.7 cm, but we still think its too thick. So we're going to make one more model thats even thinner. We're going to make it 3/16 of an inch thick, about the same as a sheet of loan. The next step is to make one more model and gear up for presenting. Until then...
