Omnidirectional antennas


I'm looking for suggestions for an omnidirectional FM antenna that I can mount on my roof. I live in an urban area that is relatively free of hills and tall buildings.

I'm using a Fanfare FM2G-C and it works great:

Marv Southcott was very helpful and a pleasure to work with.
Here's an interesting note about the FM2G and the ST-2:

I also agree with Markphd that a Terk might be all you need if you're in a strong signal area and you can position the Terk near an outside wall. However, my experience is that the passive Terks work better than the amplified ones. I found the amplified Terks to overload my tuner's front end on strong signals, and added a lot of noise.

Where I live now in the Hudson Valley, my Terk was useless. The FM2G-C worked wonders, even though I can only bolt it to the windowsill of my 3rd floor apartment. Roof mounting should be ideal.
