Antenna ideas

So I'm writing up a list of stuff to do and got to the antenna and was wondering about this one. I also would like to know others opinions.
What's a good antenna idea? power? stationary? fin? hidden somehow? get rid of it? on rear fender?
So yeah, any thoughts/ideas? Thanks.

Get rid of it, or get a shorty.

I removed about 10" off mine so it's about even with the roof. Didn't effect performance at all. Pull the rod out of the mount/part the screews to the fender. Cut off amount you want, drop of sodier and force it back in.

I chopped mine to the roof line. I never listen to the radio though it wont affect reception anyway...no need to spend 10 bucks.
