Ok, guys, thanks for the two or three postings with suggestions on the ELT antenna, but these postings referred to the ES, which has, of course, an e-glass empennage.  The Legacy and IV's, with their all-carbon bodies, require some other solution.  And no, you can't put the ELT antenna out in the e-glass wingtip, since it's supposed to be located as close to the ELT as possible, and definitely not in something likely to wander off during a crash, like a wing tip. 
    I'm thinking about a Jim Wier-style copper foil tape on the outside of the fuselage, then covered over and faired in with micro.  Maybe....
