Went to the plane today and found what I think is my ELT antenna bent horizontal and broken to the point that it was barely hanging on to the stub (it's an old 121.5 ELT).
I could use some help identifying its replacement. The antenna is a piece of 1/16th inch stainless steel wire that goes into a plastic collar that projects through a ca. 1/2 inch diameter hole in the fuselage. Mounted below the antenna against the inside of the skin is a sheetmetal box (see the attached photo). There are two screws through the fuselage skin from the outside that seem to hold the box and antenna in place. One screw is about 1 inch ahead of the antenna and the other about 1 inch behind the antenna. What appears to be coax cable runs from the box to the tail of the plane where the ELT is located.
I can't find any antennas that look like identical replacements for mine, and would appreciate it if someone could identify it for me.
Thanks, Barry.
