8-inch antenna reception sucks.... i got about 4 stations with mine on. i recently bought the 14-inch and its not much better but it is better.... it all depends on how important looks are to you

8 inch is too small IMO. The 14 inch looks great and reception stayed the same for me. If you live really far away from the towers or radio stations, you'll get crappy reception.

currently i have just an antenna base since some idiot broke my 14" (me). i almost want to keep it, looks stealth and no reception loss ( i live real close to the stations)

No problems with the 8" but all the stations around here are putting out 50K to im guessing 75K Watts on Frequency
Modulation.

NO issues with the 8" here . I just dont' like the "driving around with a fishing pole look" so the 14" had to go!
