After a couple PMs with Bajarat, I decided to give it a shot, and I'm really happy with the results.
I'm pretty consistently hearing repeaters 40 miles out, which is pretty good I think considering how flat northern Illinois is. With the Baofeng UV-5R (5 watts), I'm easily talking to repeaters...
I was considering doing exactly what you've done. Could you please post photos? I really love to hear how this is working out for you. Are you getting any noise/interference from the engine? Did you use a step drill bit to enlarge the hole?
Thank you very much,
Bryan.
