Where are the users of a good hidden antenna locating them for good reception?.

Haven't used one in many many years but in my experience there is no place for good reception. Fair reception maybe but not good. You don't say what you are wanting to put it in. Hidden behind the headlinner?

I was hoping they would improve after time. As to where to install it in my 49, I don't know, under headliner, under running board, infront of grill, etc.

I went a different way on my truck and it works great. I bought the style that is inside an adhesive strip, this does not touch metal, I have been looking for the pic but with 10,000+ on my Flikr it takes a few. Anyway it is about 24" long with a plastic end that attaches to the cable (it peels and sticks to the wood). I then ran it up through the hole in the bottom of the tool pan.
