Have you considered mounting them under the cabin top, inside the
Accuracy Avionics overhead console? I know there are two layers of
fiberglass and a core, but that shouldn't interfere with the signals.
(in my non expert opinion). Any thoughts?

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.
