Carl,

What kind of head unit do you have, and do you find reception OK?  I have a 98 Golf
with the factory stereo with a Fuba, and a Blaupunkt in the Vanagon with an antenna
that has been broken off and is currently held together with a drill bit (DPO's
fix).  The van gets better reception!

Just wondering if you noticed a difference with the amplified Fuba.  Also, what did
you use to lug the antenna hole?  If I do this, I think I'll wait until I get the
van painted and cover over the hole.
