Is that a Black Helicopter I hear...?Lol, and absolutely nobody will actually bother with this, because it more or less doesn't matter, as its basically unenforceable.

This is just the start. Watch for it. They'll be adding more restrictions and hard to follow regulations. By the time the socialist takeover decides to go full brown-shirt, door to door, they'll be able to find a reason to "legally" arrest or take the license and equipment from every civilian radio operator.
Getting caught with a receiver and especially with a transmitter in some countries during war time was a death sentence, usually carried out immediately.
2" is about right there if you are mostly listening and assuming that the CAATail is a 1.0 db gain ...I have a flexible 2m antenna that winds through Molle on a plate carrier - it holds off body about 2 inches with Level 3a armor. Dunno if that passes with a 5W HT.
Wearable Antennas
Wearing a large whip antenna on your kit can impede your effectiveness manipulating a rifle, preforming causality care or moving in and out of vehicles. The CAATail Antenna stays woven on your kit and out of the way! For use with PRC-152, PRC-117, PRC-148 (MBITR), Baofeng and much more!caatailantennas.com
I suspect it's also much lower than we think. 100W through a tuner and 100' of coax is not 100W at the antenna. Then throw in duty cycles and the fact that you aren't operating 24 hours a day and the effective exposure drops off.
