IMHO you will get better performance from a Bob Archer dipole antenna. We
mounted ours somewhere back of the baggage bay to one side.
It needs to be able to shine forward past the engine and back past the
tailplane steam tube etc.
Fred F might have better ideas? He knows more than I do about these things,
I guess Bob knows even more, bobsantennas@earthlink.net
