I spent the bucks for the 406 Mhz ELT and now am trying to find a spot at least 30 inches from the Com antenna to mouint it's antenna and am frankly baffled. My first Model IV had the ELT antenna placed internally at the side and behind the baggage sack. I wonder if the money spent to talk to satellites will be blown if an internal placement reduces signal output significantly. The only other place I can think of is on the turtle deck near the side and immediately aft of the flaperon horn. This would require disconnecting the antenna every time I remove the turtledeck, but not a difficult task as it is within reach of the door. Thoughts would be welcome.
