I have to compliment you on this idea! And I have been hiding/protecting
electrical stuff inside PVC for 40 years.
But planning ahead is better. In 1973 for our vacation time I deposited
wife and sons with in-laws and went hunting for land. Bought this place
for vacation land and retirement. Spent $350/acre for 65 acres. Retirement
is now here. I have 13 acre former corn field hill top for antennas and
paid taxes for what the Dept. of Revenue says is now worth $3,500/acre.
Since I was smart enough to choose a chronically depressed area cost of
living is about as low as you can get in the northern tier of states. And
I don't have to worry about hiding my GPS antenna! I only wish I had
started buying more numismatic gold earlier!
If you have children, warn them now!

The religious answer.
1. Install antenna in as inconspicuous location as possible.
A GPS timing antenna should fit INSIDE a 4" plumbing vent. The ABS
plastic
pipe will not effect the GPS signals. Some houses will have a 4" vent
pipe, most will be smaller but it is easy to slip a larger diameter pipe
over a small one. Buy a 30 inch length of 4" black ABS drain pipe and
simply drop it on to of any smaller vent pipe. No one would ever notice
and your plumbing system will not notice either.
