A lot of the C-150's I've flown just had the ELT with attached whip antenna
mounted to the side of the baggage area. Nothing fancy!
Usually it will be a satelite that will pick up the signal and get earth
bound rescuers to the general area anyway so your not too concerned about
line of sight.

Hello;

I am in the finishing stages of building a LIVP and realize that I have

forgotten to allow for the elt. What antenna that would be

suitable to place in the tail area (where the top section is

fiberglass). Getting a ground plane will be difficult. Is there an

alternative way to duplicate the effect of a ground plane? Is there any

issue with proximity to com antennas? I have a wire whip 2nd

antenna that is in that section as well.

Thanks,
