I was thinking about just mounting my ELT antenna inside the fuse, somewhere in the tail cone, so it would be protected during a crash. However, I started thinking that the metalized paint we use on the fabric might interfere with the transmission signal, or the metal tubes themselves.

Anyone know of any limitations in mounting the Satellite receivable ELTs, or maybe even com antennas inside the fuse? Maybe some testing done in a magazine, or your own experience?

Thanks in advance.
