Antenna under fabric in welded tube ship?
I would like to put internal nav and comm antennas in a series 5
kitfox, which has a welded tube frame. Could reasonable performance be obtain with elements on the inside surface of the fabric, but out side the frame? Seems to me this is essentially mounting the antenna very close to a so-so ground plane. How much loss and alteration of the radiation pattern is likely? Would the situation improve by minimzing runs parallel to the frame tubes? Thanks! Jon |
