Posted for "Richard" <rfreilich@sbcglobal.net>:

  The only problem I see with an ELT copper foil tape antenna bonded to the
  fuselage inside or out (carbon issues aside) is that in an accident, the
  fuselage will most likely fracture - breaking the continuity of the thin
  foil and rendering it useless.  This is one antenna that may be worth the
  drag penalty.  Just my $ 0.02
