I sure hope not! :-) The trick is to keep the strobe wires and the
antenna cable as far apart as possible. I am running the strobe
wires along the rear face of the spar just below the top surface
of the wing. The antenna wire runs along the bottom surface as far
---From the spar as possible. The proof won't be available for a
long time.

David,
Will there be any problem with noise from wing tip mounted strobes and
the nav antenna in the wing? I realize the real bugaboo would be with
the com (which you've isolated nicely) but I'm just curious. If not,
this sounds like the way for us to go with our airplane.
Thanks,
Steve G.
