        When I was building my stick and rag Renegade, Poly Fiber told me that 
the UV coating would NOT affect radio signals. 

        I put my comm and nav antennas inside the fuselage.  I am using an ICOM 
handheld attached to the instrument panel with Velcro.  I am able to monitor 
aircraft in the traffice pattern 125 miles away when flying at 2,000 agl.  I 
have had consistent communications with the tower from 20 miles out (that's 20 
minutes of flying time in the Renegade).  I believe that you will find that the 
uv coatings are not metallic, but an inorganic material.
