Oops, sorry I hit a wrong key and, apparently out my unfinished reply went -- (I am a first time user of this useful forum.)
Trying again --- I bought Emerging Lifesaving Technologies combined 406 mhz/ GPS on sale from Aircraft Spruce and am have BRS avionics of Northampton, MA install it next week.
I have (and have had for about 38 years now) a beautiful low time, always hangared (away from the oceans) 1966 M20E with the "Greek God hat" com antenna about half way between the baggage area and the rudder's dorsal fin. Mooney and others suggest putting that blade antenna to one side of the dorsal -- I would rather put it somewhere else.
In this forum, I see pictures of this blade antenna in a couple more favorable (looking) spots on newer Mooneys. One installed in front of the a "newer" blade com antenna (with doubler support) and the other just in front of the dorsal fin. (I can't whether this one used doubler support or not.
Actually, one forum response indicated that he had installed this Emerging Lifesaving Technologies combined 406 mhz/ GPS blade on a M20C. But didn't any show any picture of his installation. (I have to go back to the forum to get his sign-on name.)
Where has anyone with the older Mooneys and older com antenna installed these blade antennas?

Oops again, looking back, I see that jerry-N5911Q did post pictures of his Emerging Lifesaving Technologies 406 mhz blade installation. But either he now has a newer Mooney or somewhere along the line the "Greek God hat" com antenna was replace with a newer rod com antenna.
So, I am still interested if anyone with an older Mooney and the "Greek God hat bent over com antenna" has installed the combined 406 mhz/GPS blade
antenna back there somewhere.
Appreciate any experience and advice.
