Just mount the blade antenna by the front lug only, leave it loose a bit. Cut a slight smile slot for the coax, use a bit of grease, and,voila!
Now your blade style antenna can feather with the wind, netting you the least amount of drag possible.

Why not mount it on the side of the fuselage and use it as an angle of attack sensor as well?

And get Boeing to design you a MCAS so you are always safe from stall.
