Narrative:

After landing in sgf we were directed to taxi to parking through a ramp area lined with airplanes, due to construction and traffic, I hesitated a moment because the path looked narrow through the row of aircraft, but then proceeded. More than 1/2 way through, 2 airplanes looked very close and we slowly taxied through. My left wingtip hit the radome of one of the airplanes. The radome had about a 4 inch by 10 inch cut in it. My airplane had no damage. I should not have accepted the direction to taxi through the parking area. As PIC I had the better assessment of the situation and should have made a better decision than to just say 'ok' and proceed.
