Guys,

 

I used a spray on material that Ryan suggested for my antenna groundplanes.  I think it is called Electrodag, and it is available for purchase through KCI after I set that up for them.  I use it for all my antennas, and have had great results.  It is under my tcad antennas, stormscope, diplexed comm. (which actually works great, for me anyway…I know Rob had problems, but I have had none), and transponder.  All work great.  I highly suggest it.  Its so easy to do, just paint it on under the final primer/sealer.  If anyone has any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.  I was leary to suggest it before, but I see great results from it.

Rob,

Great tip on the ground plane. Do you have a picture of the installation? Thank you for the link too.

I used 4 CU welding rods and just cut to length with
a SWR meter... and yes, you can hear the difference,
its worth the effort.
