We also put a VOR antenna from Bob Archer in the right wing. We hooked an ICOMM radio to both of them and picked up clear voice transmissions from an Atlanta Center sector that is about 45 miles away. Not bad for horizontally installed nav antennas, on the ground, in a hangar!! We could not tell any difference between the two VOR antennas. We used the same material from Jim for the marker beacon antenna. John >> I have a nav antenna in my right wing of my Super ES.
