It may indeed “work”, but the radiation pattern is going to be significantly affected by the asymmetrical ground plane radials. Could cause some reception issues by ground stations in certain directio

… I would also point out that type of mounting would only be justified for a transmitter (ADS-B out) system and a ground plane. Receive only (ADS-B in) can be mounted just about anywhere, facing up or

Glass is radio transparent for the equipment we use in GA and I don’t extend the antenna outside the fuselage skin unless there is a physical height issue (like under the front thigh support). When I
