comm antennas

For my 73 P337 I am putting in an audio panel and 430 nav-comm-gps and given that my old radios didn't sound so good I wanted new coax and possibly antennas. What we found was that Cessna had installed a mickey mouse antenna switcher and only one antenna way back in the port fin.

Well, I am going to put in 2 new antennas and discard the antenna switcher and am trying to decide where to place them up front. I prefer not to put them on the belly as I may want to install a cargo pod and may go for the roof. But that brings up line of sight transmission worries to ground stations.

Can any of you comment on the location of your antennas, and my goal?
