Seems like you've got nothing to lose by trying it out before getting carried away with relocation.

Thanks, Steve. The airplane is opened up for an annual, so now is the time to move antennas. I'd rather be certain of the installation and its performance, as thunderstorm avoidance is a constant here on the Texas Gulf Coast.
