Suggestions for a 'good' FM antenna?


I just bought an older Sansui tuner, TU-717. I will now need a FM antenna. I would like some suggestions from those who have some knowledge in this area. I have been thinking of the following 3 options: Antenna from Radio Shack. ST-2 or SR-100 from Magnum Dynlalab

If you own your own house, I put a real antenna in my attic and spliced into the cable TV cable going to that room. So then the tuner is just plugged into the wall outlet. If you want cable TV in that room you could also add another outlet if you can run wires behind the wall. I get stuff up to 100 miles away no problem.
Avguygeorge: I live south of Washington DC. Pointing it north gets me DC and Baltimore and does a pretty good job getting Richmond, Virginia south. The antenna I got had a Cable TV coax connection instead of the old fashioned wires. I did no modifications. I do have a TV in that room and the cable is just split with the typical small coax cable TV splitter from Radio Shack or whereever. The TV picks up all the DC and Balitmore stations great, so I do miss the cable in that room. The FM frequencies are between TV Channels 6 and 7, so if the antenna does a good job with VHF TV the FM should be fine also.
I meant to say I do NOT miss the cable TV in my listening room, because the antenna does great.
