I sit down to build an A/V sled and put it on 6" eyebolts as I see everyone else doing when suddenly the thought of eyebolts acting as antennae hits me.
I plan on installing two RF circuits on this sled: a 2.4 GHz RX for R/C deployment and a 900 MHz TX for telemetry. I wonder in particular how much of what I'm radiating on 900 MHz the eyebolts might absorb as they are frighteningly close to 1/2 wavelength.
Am I making this up? If this is a real issue, how are others dealing with it?
