ELT's

I would not want to recommend any of these installations as shown as
examples of "how to do it", all of the installations proposed were highly
suspect...in any antenna installation you'd want to keep the antenna's from
paralleling other antenna's, metal posts or objects as they will interfere
with the radiation pattern and even can bounce signals back and forth
creating distortion.you also need to look at the antenna mast and the
direction that you are hoping to transmit to, typically the mast would want
to be vertical to send the signal in a more horizontal direction,
particularly for communications being that we don't know in the case of an
ELT what might and might not be vertical .....again looking for
ideal....even that said, some signal can get out even with a damaged or
missing antenna but greatly reduced..In a conversation with Ameri-King
(claimed) they claimed to have tested their ELT for certification with no
antenna attached...but I might find this to be suspect.

Hi Dick,

ELTs are still great safety devices.

Most contests probably won't require them - requiring SPOT units instead.

One workable internal antenna mounting solution is shown he
