Phil,
The quietest environment for the antenna is the best solution. I.e.
put all the light wiring together and mount the antenna wire in its
own path as far away from the other wires as possible.
Always run high current, high noise circuits separately from low
current, low noise circuits.

this idea but I would like to drill those holes tonight and I don't
have the conduit yet. Can anybody tell me what size I need to drill
that hole?? Also I intend to drill it on the trailing edge of the
rib toward the bottom. Any gotchas????

Phil,
One other thing about wing wiring. Keep in mind, an airframe is not a
ground wire. Make sure to bring all circuit ground wires back to a
central ground buss (behind the instrument panel or close to the
battery)
