Need strong passive FM Antenna. Help


Living in the boonies of Vermont, pulling in stations is a challenge. I've tried active FM antennae that just plain sucked. So I'd like to stick with a passive antenna, but condo living prevents a roof mount. I do have a bit of space to work with otherwise. Has anybody made their own? Or found an optimal brand?

Thanks,

Neil

I live in western Mass (Stockbridge) which is a "fringe" area if not the "boonies".

If you are down in a deep valley, no antenna will work. How does your car radio work when parked outside your condo?

Anything on the roof, especially with a rotator is vastly superior to anything indoors. That did the job for me, although I did need to use shielded 300 ohm twinlead to avoid auto ignition noise.

Why does condo living preclude a roof mount? Maybe you could compromise with something in the attic. Give the super a nice XMass gift.
