Is there a best car aerial

Re: Is there a best car aerial
The 1/4 wavelength (approximate size) one's seem to work the best. The longer the better and centre or rear of the roof mount is better than boot mount on a saloon for example.
The shark fins and electric window type antenna's are crap even with their signal boosters.
I've used a Sony XDR-F1HD in a car with a mag mount band 2 antenna mounted in the centre of the roof and the results were phenomenal compared to the decent JVC receiver it already had fitted, in comparison.
