We have an e-glass 320 and mounted a 1/4 wave (just a piece of tv type ribbon wire) antenna on the cockpit floor. It works WAY too good. At any altitude above 1000 ft you pick up stations (at least one) on every single frequency. A somewhat less efficient antenna might help filter out some of the stations 200 miles away. So...with this in mind, my guess would be that an antenna on the glare shield of a carbon bird might be just about perfect. Let us know how this vital piece of equipment works out.
