I saw an "antenna" (felt inclined to specify) that was 3.5" but I never found where you could buy one like it? in this case, the shorter the better imo, as long as it works.

I got a 9 incher. No reception problems at all.

EricM, what kind of reception do you get with that 3.5"?
Stang Skeleton, I'd love to go that route (windshield antenna)but I have not liked the antenna deletes I've seen, so far.

Hmmm, 4.5" grinder with a cut off wheel, a touch of black spray paint and a artist brush. Just removed my antenna and eyeballed my length. Cut it with the grinder and hit the brush with a touch of paint and applied to the cut. Reinstall antenna, done. Cost me nothing but 5 minutes. Don't need the ball but a $.05 vacumme cap would work nice too.
