I'm guessing it is CF wrapped. I don't think CF is conductive enough for the entire rod to be CF and be of much use.

I removed my antenna altogether, and it has not affected FM reception. AM reception is down to 1 station. I saw a shorty CF antenna on ebay, but I've decided that it looks to ricey and cheap

CF on such a small accessory won't even be noticeable unless you're 2" away. Save the few bucks a get a regular stubby.
I bought the OEM stubby one and like it alot. I used to have one of the eBay ones but the metal tends to pit over time. The OEM has a rubbery texture which seems more durable. |

I have a Mangowalk stubby and the AM reception SUCKS. Newsradio is a thing of the past. FM isn't effected for obvious reasons

You'll need to use Velcro so that you can still lower the top.
