Best indoor FM antenna, your experience.


I am not able to do an outdoor antenna where I live.  Looking for the best I can do with an indoor antenna.  Stations I want to listen to are 50 to 80 air miles away."
Thanks

Of course, if not already suggested, internet radio allows me to get stations from anywhere in the world. :)

It is not clear if you have an attic space available. If you do, using an outdoor directional FM antenna mounted in the attic is a great idea!

Hi Whart,

Terk used to make tiny, like 1' long black plastic models.

Then at some point they made like a 2', rather large wall mountable version.

I wish I had a good solution. They pretty much all failed me.

The best indoors was the cheap antennas IF and only IF I could turn them around correctly.  You have to keep them parallel to the ground, but turning them around was what would make a huge difference. If you were an antenna, stretch your arms out and turn around in a circle. So, sometimes taping to the ceiling was my only option.

I always wanted to try the really BIG indoor TERK antenna’s though.

I tried a couple of their small antenna’s. They were garbage. The few years I had with a turnable outdoor arial was heaven.

Alternative: Almost ALL FM stations are on the internet. Try it! :)

Best,
