What about a electronic hidden antenna ? Anyone have one of these that can give me results of satisfaction of how good they work ?

I had one years ago and it worked good. In my Burban the PO filled the hole in the cowl where the antenna goes, so I have an short antenna tucked up under the dash which works pretty good also.

My results are all from the Portland OR area. The more rural your area is the greater the need for a tall vertical exterior antenna is to pick up distant stations. Mountainous areas also need good antennas.
