I finally got to give XM radio a "road trip" test. I have had XM installed for about 3 months now and absolutely love it. I went to the St. Louis cruise in this weekend and would like to give a quick report. I have an Alpine head unit and XM receiver. I also have the Terk XM3 antenna mounted just above the windshield sprayer on the back hatch. It was wonderful listening to 80's music for the entire 6 hour trip and never needing to find the next local station. From Monroe, OH, to St. Louis there was never a drop in the feed and only a 5 second drop on the way home (near Batesville, IN). The sound quality was excellent the whole time and XM is not affected by storms (like the one on Saturday night). I have to say I am 100% pleased with XM so far and would highly recommend it to anyone that asks.
