Great minds think alike? :-} This project rose back to the top of the pile again now that I have a working PTT for the little Vertex radio. Next step solder, add ground plane and some radials, and mount on the plane.

Okay, figure out a way to substantially beef up support
of the rod right and for about 1" away from the solder
joint. If allowed to "wave in be breeze" it's going
break at the solder joint and depart the airplane . . .
if I recall your airplane configuration correctly,
there may be risk of putting that piece of wire through the prop?
A piece of Delrin, polycarbonate, etc cut drilled and
mounted to supply support is recommended.
