On my 601HD I mounted my VOR antenna on the bottom of the rear
fuselage just forward of the tailwheel (about 1' from the end if you
have a trike). Seems to work although I use the GPS 99.9% of the time
anyways...


Exactly the same here. It gets the same or better reception than any other
plane I have flown. The added benefit is (since the top of the tail isn't as
high as my wife's Cessna) you won't take your eye out during a preflight.

You could also use the fuselage mounted combination VOR/Comm, "Flying
Lady". I've seen them on V-tail aircraft, and have one on my 310.
Performance is very good, though it might be a bit too large for your
plane. I see them on e-bay from time to time.
