Roger,
I followed Bob's advice when building my RV-6A. ran a piece of cable from my radio to the firewall and used a bulkhead BNC connector to get to the front side of the firewall. I then took a piece of cable about 48" long and attached a female end on that for the forward connection and proceeded to strip 40" of the sheath from the cable. Subsequently I fiberglassed that to the inside of my cowling running forward horizontally. Works fine and I've not ever forgotten to disconnect the cable from the firewall when removing the cowling.
YMMV

My question is: Is it relatively simple to fabricate an antenna, or should I consider purchasing one? I assume it can be put on the inside of the airframe without a significant loss of signal strength. Roger
