Excellent Outdoor FM Antennas

terrain. Because I spent a number of years selling and servicing audio in a area with limited FM radio classic choices - a LOT of my customers went thru gyrations in a attempt to get WFMT from Chicago.Terrain - most definitely including taller buildings even a pretty good distance away - if they are between you and the target transmitters antenna- you aren't going to get the station(s) you want.
Most areas have one or two antenna installers who are actually very knowledgeable about what can and can not be accomplished from your area.These are the guys who can typically stand in your yard and point out two to five antennas they have installed and tell you what the results were.As a group - antenna installers tend to be guys who will tell you what they want to use and what you can expect and are pretty much uninterested in what you want to install.My way or the highway.They are real ,real busy right now with everyone discovering the hard way that broadcast Digital TV does work lots better with a out door antenna.
BTW - I have been very pleased with the sound and programing variety available on the B channels of the HD radio services.

You need a Winegard HD HD6055P, and a Channel Master CM 9521A rotator. I have this setup, and enjoy excellent FM on my Denon TU-800 from a fave station 140 miles away--CBC radio in Canada. I easily get nearly full signal strength from powerful stations from broadcast antennas located 50-60 miles away over curvy terrain.

The APS pieces are really nice, and really expensive.

I'll second Talon4. I'm using an APS-9 on a ten foot mast on my roof. Not a high WAF, but it sure gets the job done. I also agree that Rich Modafferi does terrific work on tuners. He went through my Marantz 10B, and it has never sounded better.
