Mounting the FLARM antenna in front of the compass is by far the best location unless you have metal or carbon vent outlets forward of it at the same height.

We will publish an 'Antenna Installation' application note this week.
Don't worry too much about the ADS-B antenna, the signals it receives are pretty strong.

"FLARM" You're listening! Please please please find a better antenna
than this ugly center-fed dipole with plastic attachment that goes
right in our field of vision. The RAS thread found lots of bottom-fed
and bottom-mounted dipoles. Please check that one of them works and
send an antenna that even plausibly is suited for a bottom-fed
installation on a glider glareshield!
