Bicycle frame as antenna?

Another solution could be APRS or something similar. There are
separate transmitters small enough to fit in a 1.5 - 2.0" tube,
encluding a battery. Antenna(s) in the seat, frame as the
counterpoise? RF burns? Oh, yeah, sure. But who cares, right? All
normal stipulations apply.

The frame itself may resonate on - or around - 2m (a fullwave, end to
end?). Maybe you can tap into it using a gamma-match.
