Sorry, it's not a GS, it's a Marker Beacon. The original antenna is a
Comant CI 164 mounted flush to the skin. The new antenna is a Comant CI
118-1. The flush mounting location for the original Comant is a very
convenient place to put an IR camera, useful for taxiing at night and in
poor visibility. I'm designing a fairing in which to mount the camera
with the antenna bolted to the bottom of the fairing because that's what
the customer wanted. I want to not look stupid if I submit this to a
radio DER.

Here's a picture.

Looks to me like the best thing to do, is put the antenna behind the camera,
or the camera in front of the antenna.

How about putting the camera out in front of the antenna, and have the
fairing looking kinda like the oil cooler (or is it the air intake) on most
RV's? You could fair the camera housing back to fit to the antenna, or even
better, use fiberglass, and have the antenna completely enclosed. You could
make it really slick!
