My ELT antenna broke near the base. Standard antenna that comes with the ACK E-04 transponder. Anyone experience this? Any ideas how this might happen?
You mentioned in an earlier post that this particular antenna was mounted on the bottom of the airframe, rather than on top as the manufacturer instructs. Perhaps some interaction between with gear flow, exhaust pulses, or simply a piece of gravel blown up by your propeller contributed to an early demise for your antenna.
