I am flight testing a couple of new APRS antennas for Don at Delta Pop Aviation. I received the first one yesterday and mounted it today on the belly of my RV-6 where my original antenna was mounted. Just had to drill a couple of additional holes for the new antenna mount and re-connect the antenna coax. Here are a couple of pictures of the installation:
I will be flight testing the antenna tomorrow, Wednesday, at 11 a.m. eastern for anyone who might might want to track the flight. The plan is to stay low and fly out to the boonies in order to see how the antenna handles it.
Full disclosure: I volunteered to help Don run the tests and he in turn has offered to let me keep both antennas. Otherwise I have no connection with his enterprise.
Don is going to have a few different versions of the antenna, I believe, please contact Don if you have any questions.
