My transponder antenna is less than 12" behind the nose gear.

It works fine. I fly out of Boeing Field. Once in a while,
maybe three times in hundreds of flights, ATC reported that my
transponder was intermittent for a short time. Antenna placement
may or may not have been a factor.

for a good place to install the transponder antenna forward of the
center section. I have installed the gascolator just in front of the
center section in the middle so that area isn't available. Will the
nose gear block reception if I locate behind it?
