I have 3 mouse antennas attached to my glareshield using nylon velcro
material. (Logger, backup loggger, Flarm)
The break away feature is not relevant as my panel stays with the glider...

All work well, 11cm separation to Flarm antenna seems to be fine.

I'm thinking of mounting a couple of "mouse" GPS antennas on the inside of my fiberglass LS6 panel cover using Dual-Lock on the TOP of the GPS antenna. Reason is to have more real estate to place the antennas, and still provide a "break-away" function if I have to jettison the canopy (and cover, which goes with it). Any opinions about any effect the plastic Dual-Lock would have on GPS reception?

My gut feeling is "no effect", but I claim no deep knowledge of the electromagnetic spectrum (other than how to run a no-lock intercept using an APQ-120...).

Comments?
