The short aerial I use mostly when I travel with others and avoid getting clipped by branches. The 6db I use for longer drives when on my own, get better coverage.
I don't think I need the thick whips, what I have serves me fine.
The ideal spot for any aerial is in the middle of roof not on the bull bar, so, the roof rack is as close to optimum spot.
At least that's what I learned in my electronics engineering course.

Well the angle in the first photo makes the car look like a toy or it makes you look really tall, so I guess when you look closely you can see it is steep but that's a very common comment when posting pics of steep tracks - we all suffer from it.
The only time I've seen a true representation is when you can also see a car on the flat at the bottom of the hill and compare it to the angle of the car trying to get up the hill :)

A good way to show the track angle is to take the photo of car side on and having the camera level (horizontal).
