   That could be cool. I've got an ear piece and remote mike for mine
too that I got to be able to use under my motorcycle helmet. I'm not
sure that I could *find* it if I wanted to, but I do have one... :-)
I seem to recall reading an article about a woodsball team that used
throat mikes with great success, but I don't recall if they were vox
or not. Even if not, its not too bad to hit the button. The earpiece
I have has a remote button so I could probably mount it right on the
gun.

   Yep, yours have the security codes too don't they? That could make
it more difficult to find the other team. Sure, you could scan
through them all I suppose, but while you're doing that, you can't
talk to your own team. :-)

    Everything is the same as it was during the BBQ currently; the
leaves haven't even started to change color yet.
