Stubby antenna

[White Stripe]

I need to get a new am/fm antenna. Thinking of a stubby one that is only like 3" long or so. Or since I never listen to the radio in my cruiser maybe I could put a cb antenna their instead. But either way I kinda want just a real short antenna. Any ideas?

You should look into one of the hidden antennas.

RetroSound HPA-1 antenna

Yep, that's more or less what I have attached to the portion of the roll cage. Actually works pretty darn good.

I have never been one for listening to the radio while driving. One of the few cars that I did have a radio in I didn't want to mess the lines of my car with an antenna so I took two single strands of thin copper wire and starting at the center bottom of the windshield about an inch apart leaving a few inches exposed for hook up I tucked the wire into the rubber all the way round the windshield stopping an inch apart at the top center. As I remember it got very good reception.

What about putting a CB antenna in place of the am/fm antenna? Anything that works ok that isn't 5 feet long?

Firestick used to make a shorter radio antenna. I know because a PO drilled a hole thru the cowl to install it!!!

I had a short "rubber ducky" one from the auto parts store, didn't get the best reception, but worked ok.
