Personally, I'd like to see a review of some of the newer electronic antennas like the Dakota Digital and others. I find it hard to believe that a passive antenna hidden under fiberglass and resin can provide as good reception as a whip exposed to the elements.
Right now I'm running one of the J&M antennas, but I'm tempted to try a hidden one as well.

I don't have any problems picking up radio stations with my hidden antenna! (Not sure of the brand, got it at Audio Express). It's a different style though, it has the antenna(s) stick out about 6 inches on either side of the base.
I don't see how fiberglass and resin will be that much more of an inhibitor than the interior of a house! How many people actually link their home stereos to an antenna outside the house?
On the other hand, I rarely listen to the radio anyways (and I don't have satellite). No point when you have MP3 capabable CD's!!!
