Hey All and Thermos,
Thermos, last you were over we discussed the location of this little twanger.
I have a couple of options as I see it.
Location "A"
Location "B"
Each place has its benefits.
I see location "A" being better at "HIDING" the noise from the power wires leading to the strobe and nav lights.
I see location"B" being a better ground plane attach.
I guess option "C" would be somewhere in the middle and take advantage and compromise both qualities.
What do you guys think?
Input???

CJ,
I stuffed my NAV antenna as far back as possible:
It works great!

Hmmmm... That is WAAAAY FAAAAAH BACK, Mikey!!!
Now I have an option "D"!!!
I am thinking that this is another one of those things people overthink and spend too much time on!
Maybe I have spent too much time on it already?
Thanks!

Doesn't Archer want you to actually route the strobe and nav power lines across the antenna in a very specific way? I remember reading that that was somewhat critical. You might not be doing yourself any favors by trying to do it differently...
