This sounds exactly like a HEAT issue. The next time that the antenna works and you shut off the car, IMMEDIATELY open the trunk and PHYSICALLY touch the antenna. Let me know if it is really hot.

What else is there to know that ain't covered in that link?

Welcome to the fun.

Here you go. You need to edit your profile to include the year of your Corvette. Some repairs are year specific.

So that we are all on the same page, I will attach the service manual's detailed description of how the entire ABS system works.
