Brent Regan:

In your last post you stated "the ELT antenna should be horizontal".  Sorry
Brent, you were wrong 3 years ago when you made that statement and you are
still wrong.  The ELT antenna should be vertically polarized.  This is the
same polarization as the comm. receiving antennas that are trying to pick it
up.  If you cross polarize between transmitter and receiver your received
signal strength will be way down.  Unless of course if you are planning to
always crash with nose down and tail sticking up in the air.  This seems
highly unlikely; don't you think so?
