Got my stubby today. I just installed it and I must say for a little antenna, it works pretty good. Thanks again Craven!!
Yeah, now that I've been using it for a few weeks I haven't noticed increased reception. It was just a coincidence the day I installed mine that the hardest station to pick up happened to pick up great that day. Could have been the weather or the station itself. I will say this, I haven't noticed any lost reception. Which was a concern of mine with a "small" antenna.
There is a station I listen to but it gets a little staticy when I get off the interstate going home. I swapped the antenna while on that station and it picked up about the same. I'm impressed considering its only like 3 inches tall.
It makes a world of difference in appearance also. I shortened my factory antenna to about level with the top of cab but this one still looks better than stock.
