Surely you could fish a coax into the tailcone?

Sure, but "nailing down" the coax along the run is problematic. I don't
want to leave it free to flop around and perhaps snag the elevator walking
beam bellcrank (located behind the pilot seat at the bottom of the
fuselage).

I'd like to get the antenna oriented vertically, too, though for the
receive side, the longitudinal orientation would probably be fine.

Certainly an option, though.
