So...what d'ya think?

Follow-up question: I do my antenna switching on the ground, now, switching
coaxes between radio outputs. Are there any inexpensive switch boxes that would
let me take two RF inputs and select which antennas they connect to, without
switching cables?

Ron, I have had pretty good luck with a stainless antenna on a .024
metal panel on the belly of my Jungster II (all wood) It resides
between the gear and in bent about 30° aft. I riveted on a doubler
around the attach point. It looks like you could attach it to the
front panel. If you leave a loop of slack in the antenna wire it makes
it easier to remove and inspect under the panel. Usually if people say
they can't receiving me it is usually their equipment or a wire has
become loose somewhere in my circuits.

In order to ward off an attack from Barnyard Bob I should have said:
is bent 30° and: if people say they aren't receiving me.
