I have been seeing some rather short stubby antennas on newer cars

lately.
Some of them are short rods about an inch or two long. Others are

blades
similar to what you sometimes see on large airplanes, an inhc or so tall

and
2 or 3 inches long. Of course what I actually see appears to be just

the
'radome' covering the actual antenna.

They are way to short to be useable on AM/FM, so my guess is that they

are
actually:

1. Active antennas for AM/FM

2. The new 'satellite radio' antennas

3. Another conspiracy by the safety nuts who think that car radio

antennas
are dangerous and have convinced the NTSB that they (the NTSB, that is)

are
smarter than the rest of us and should tell us what we need.


Any 'experts' out there that know what they are?
