I=99m located at Narromine and have been considering an HF and 2m / 70 cm installation in my RV10. 2m and 70 cm are reasonably easy to achieve but HF is a bit more of problem. I was thinking of a long wire ATU like the FC40 and a wire off both wing ti p trailing edges up to the vertical stabiliser feed from one end by the ATU i n a wing. RF might cause some dramas with the rest of the Avionics so it would require some careful testing.
