The bent whip (either the CI-121 or CI-122, IIRC) is what I would
recommend for low drag and good price.

For a top mount consider the Comant CI-121 or the RA Miler AV-10. The
Comant CI-122 is for a belly mount com.

It's true that the bent whip antenna was 'bent' for ground clearance
when mounted on the belly ...... but it works just fine on the top too,
for those that are squeezing the bank account.

I don't see why the problems with the tape antennas would be any different in the
-10. The only problem I'm aware of is that the comm antennas are vertically
polarized, and the signal strength suffers when they're horizontal. OK, we're
not talking 1/2 way around the world here. I hear transmissions a couple hundred
miles away (vertically polarized antennas)when I fly ...... but I'm usually
within 10 miles of an airport when I check in ...... so I fail to see the
'problem' with the tape antennas laying horizontal other than the antenna 'pointing'
at the destination. So, just place the antenna sideways ..... like across
the cabin top or bend it like that 'belly' whip. Help me out here guys!!!
What am I missing???

Michael,
I wouldn't give up on the tape antenna just yet. I use one for my 2nd
comm radio and it works great. My bent whip on the bottom goes to the
primary radio, but I've had great luck with the tape and use it to talk to
ground control and Unicom radios without any issues. Plus it's the cheapest
game in town by a long shot. I ran the comm cord up the cabin support tube
and tie the shield to the mount screw and the center to the tape with one
piece of fiberglass to cover the tape and hold it in place.

Marcus,
How long is your tape? I did mine according to the instructions and it
doesn't work well at all. I had a bunch of Ham radio guys come out and look
at it - they put a meter on it and told me it is electrically too short for
the frequencies I was trying to use.
Thanks,
Ralph

I said cowling... I meant cabin top. It is not removed quite as often as the
