Jim,
I just installed the Bob Archer Transponder ant. and, yes, it is supposed to
go horizontally. The connector should be closest to the front of the aircraft
with the opposite end (that containing the mass of the ant. copper element)
should point towards the tail.

Jos-
I installed the Bob Archer antenna back in the tailcone on a piece of balsa.
However, I installed it vertically. Transponder antennas are vertically
polarized, aren't they, or am I confused?
BTW, I have a new sailboat -- get over and try it.
