Uhhh, won't the aluminium foil make the whip flutter in flight? This
could put some interesting mudulation on your transmissions... Perhaps
this is a new transmission mode... FCC could assign it J9-AL13 as the
appropriate mode designator for DAMN transmissions (Damped Amplitude
Mode N-rays)

google on Blondlot + N-rays


You missed the first posts, the foil is for internal antenna's, inside
the fuselage of a composite plane. So the wind won't be a problem at
all. And another bonus, it will improve a composite plane's primary
radar return to ATC, if that is desired that is.
