The big Terk beats my Magnum Dynalab whip by far.
Maybe if I put a Led Zeppelin sticker on the MD it’d work better.

Timely thread for me. Just got a restored MX 110z to use as the preamp in my vintage system; I have the small Magnum Dynalab antenna, which is an odd set of rabbit ears that converts to what looks like an omni. I don’t know enough about my new location to evaluate and I am dealing with a tuner just a little younger than me. @erik_squires - what is this big Terk of which you speak? Amplified? (I thought those were a no-no). I made a couple calls to A/V type guys here in Austin who laughed at me when I asked them about outdoor antennas. I have a few additional constraints b/c our new house is an historic register house, and I really don’t want to have a roof aerial. The attic concept is a good one, though. Most people on another forum suggested an outdoor antenna. The one upside is that I could probably find a working bakelite rotor control box to keep it all ’in period.’ I also have to find out if what’s involved if I mount to an outdoor free standing mast or pole. I emailed the ham radio guys here, but I didn’t get hear back; perhaps I needed some operator cred to garner a response. Morse code? |
There is no indoor FM antenna that will have a range up to 50-80 miles away. My outdoor mounted directional yagi does not have a range like that! Read this! https://www.gcaudio.com/tips-tricks/fm-antennas/ |
