Eugene,
Thanks, good advice. Since I don't know any ham operators, I'll check with my EAA chapter and see if they have a VSWR meter, or know of a local ham operator that also likes airplanes.

I have the "slow build" tail and when I installed the com antenna in the
tail (per instructions), I measured the VSWR over the com frequency ranges.
An antenna movement of a couple inches made a HUGE difference in smoothing
out the VSWR over the com operating frequencies. I would advise that before
you finalize the antenna location, check the VSWR (find ham operator with a
VSWR meter) on your antenna installation and move it to get the best VSWR.
