That's a little smaller than I need, and not easily connected without a PCB.
For a transmitter, I'd just use a wire whip. But I'm not sure what the
equivalent would be for GPS - is there any easy way to wind a
quadrifilar helix? I know Garmin does it in some of their products
using flex circuits, but that's a little expensive to get set up.

In two places, no less. Fixed it, thanks.
