ELT location?

I have found a few logs/photos of various ELT installations in Sonexes, but am looking for some more ideas on locations, and the structures built to support them. I have the antenna installed about 42" behind the cockpit, on top of the fuselage. The 5' coax only reaches so far. I can certainly get a longer coax if I have to, but still looking to see what others have done. I have the ACK E-04.

That's about where I was thinking. Thanks for sharing. My mount is a little longer than yours, so I'll have to see what size I would need for the triangle.
