REFLECTOR: Advanced Electronics Com Antenna

[Keith Hallsten]

Tom,

Comm antennas at ground stations (and other airplanes) are all vertically
oriented, which provides vertical polarization to the signal.  Your radio
performance will be degraded with a horizontal orientation.  If you don't
need much, it might work, but I would be inclined to try to find a way to
get a vertical antenna in.

It appears I do not have a 2nd com antenna glassed in my Velo. Came 
across this antenna which mounts inside and doesn't need a ground plane. 
Has anyone tried this and had any success?? My thought was to mount it 
flat under rear seat as I don't see any easy way to do it vertically. 
Opinions welcome..thx Tom
