Default Comm Antenna in Winglet

To all you communication experts,

I have a Schreder hp-15/18 I am rebuilding. I need to install a
communication radio antenna. Is it possible that an installation in
one of the winglets will provide reasonable radio communications. The
winglet is fiberglass and I can ground to the aluminum wing
structure. The winglet is about the same height as a standard comm
antenna.

I was thinking maybe a copper strip up the TE.

Opinions?

Mike
