Fred,
If non-conductive metallic-looking Mylar or vinyl is not available, you
could just try it. Just like there is metal in your airplane not far from
the antenna, you could probably get away with small accent strips as well.
Best if they are smaller and broken up, and not one long continuous piece.
Besides, they could always be removed, right? :)
