REFLECTOR: Antenna

[Rene Dugas]

Scott,
I have the Miracle Whip in my left strake threaded through the access holes
behind the fuel tanks so I could easily connect to the existing Coax at the
end of the strake.  Works very well.  I just ordered another one for the
right wing today. I ran mine through a length of foam pipe insulation  to
make it almost straight but they say curves are not a problem.  It has a box
attached that I Velcroed to the bottom of the strake through the wing bolt
access hole.

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

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

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.
