Any system requiring above-ground antennae or dishes isn't good for communication with boltholes.

Not necessarily; antennae can be disguised. The problem is with redundancy. Weather, earthquakes, nearby nuke detonations, fires, etc. could damage above ground equipment.
Large antennae aren't required. The SNOTEL network in the Western U.S. is a good example of an operating meteor-burst comms system.
I don't like Project satellites or ELF comms capability for lots of reasons and I agree with this:

I think the biggest issue with an SLF or ELF system: the chance of being mistaken by the Soviet Union for some sort of secret backup to the Navy's communications systems.
