Ok, guys, thanks for the two or three postings with
suggestions on the ELT antenna, but these postings referred to the ES, which
has, of course, an e-glass empennage. The Legacy and IV's, with their
all-carbon bodies, require some other solution. And no, you can't
put the ELT antenna out in the e-glass wingtip, since it's supposed to
be located as close to the ELT as possible, and definitely not in something
likely to wander off during a crash, like a wing tip.
I'm thinking about a Jim Wier-style copper
foil tape on the outside of the fuselage, then covered over and faired
in with micro. Maybe....
