REFLECTOR: Antenna

[Scott Derrick]

Really?  Even though its mostly horizontal. Thats encouraging..

The similar area in my V, behind the back seats is also readily

I've been thinking of either trying this in the nose of the plane,

or this in the area behind the back seat, like your copper foil antenna.
