With all this talk about antennas, I've got a question for the group. I
need to mount a XM weather antenna and an additional GPS antenna. I
already have the primary GPS mounted on the top of the tail cone aft of
the cabin top intersection. I am not keen on placing them on the cabin
top, primarily for aesthetics, so I'm planning on mounting them side by
side on a shelf on the firewall. This will make installation and the
cabling easier. The antennas don't require a ground plane as best as I
can tell. Mounting them in this location will make for a shorter cable
run and an easier installation. Anybody gone this route? Feedback? I
think I recall that Checkoway mounted one or more antennas in this manner.

Deems,
Rick Gray did the "antenna tray" on his RV10. Check out the "wet" pic.
