If your goal is to make tracing the wire difficult, then the wire from the "well hidden antenna" should not be that much harder to find than the wires from the sensors. Remember that the antenna cannot be THAT well hidden if it is still going to function!
And the cost for whatever improvement you have is a whole bunch of radiating sources that are relatively easy to detect and locate, all of which can be crippled by killing the easily identifiable "microwave tower off in the distance". Remember that your antennas are waging a constant war between directionality and size, unless you are putting a pretty big array on all of these they are going to be radiating all over the place. And if you ARE putting big arrays on them, well then stealth won't matter anyway.

Most of those points are well made.
Hiding a receiver can be done. Build a thing that looks like a rock out of what they make radomes out of and there ya go. In fact the Project probably has a number of hidden arrays like this scattered around prime base to support the communications module when it goes active. Actually I figure the antennae in the communications module are all concealed by this sort of thing even when they are in the raised and active position, as much as they can be depending upon wave length
