Hi Oscar It would work but would have limited range, my ELT came with 2 antennas one a telescoping portable. I used my ELT antenna by making a star pattern for a ground plane, made using 1 inch wide copper strips. I put the Antenna on the floor about 2 feet back from the seat back.

Most ELTs have a wire whip or external antenna but a rubber duck would be more compact. If it would work, does anybody have one they want to sell? There don't seem to be any on eBay.
