Here are the pics of the loop antenna and GPS antenna installation. (the controller photos turned out too fuzzy so I'll have to try again later)
The loop antennas. These are installed in the garage rafters hanging from 3/4 inch PVC conduit with a 3/4" to 1/2" reducing tee.

The clear cover was used so I can see the gain status LEDs. With the STP cable debacle I re-crimped with a standard RJ45 and brought out the drain wire. I used conductive copper tape (the same as the antenna shield) to attach it to the RJ45 socket shield.
In this photo you can see the Tram GPS antenna mounted just above the H-B lightning detector and below the Davis wind instruments. I was able to get it above the roof line, so the only signal eclipse is the mast (and H-B antenna). Effectively it is "full sky" compared to my very constricted sky view on the 6.8usb original station.
