You need to keep the tips of the COMM antenna as far away from wires as
possible (including the antenna feed wire itself, which should leave the
antenna in a 90 degree angle). The magnetometer is no problem, but the
wires attached to the magnetometer are likely going to interfere with
the antenna. Keep this cable snug against the leading edge of the fin,
to maximize the distance to the antenna.
Furthermore, I'm puzzled why you want the magnetmeter to be in the top
of the fin? There must be more convenient places that are magnetically
neutral in your ship?
