FM antennae recommendations please?

Magnum Dynalab has the same type of antenna which retails for 85 dollars and works very well.

I'm doing some testing on a couple of different FM antennas and should have the results this weekend. The Magnum is included in this bunch.

I would imagine that a BIC Beam Box would work well for you. These are no longer in production but can be found both here on Audiogon and on Ebay. It is a slim line component sized box that houses an electronically steerable antenna. You can switch directionality to minimize multipath, which should work well in your situation. It is not the most sensitive or highest gain, but given your location right in the city, that may actually help you out with front end overload. No promises or guarantees, but something that might be worth checking into for just a few bucks. Sean

I second the Magnum whip- its great!

I have the Fanfare antenna mentioned above, I haven't compared it with anything else but I feel I have very good reception. No complaints with it's performance.

I moved it to the peak of my roof about two months ago, this improved the performance even greater. I purchased a longer, quad-shielded, cable from Radio Shack, thanks to the wonderful help and guidance from here.

One of my concerns about installing it on the peak I chose was that we get a lot of snow build up at times and wondered what would happen if it was buried. When this last storm blew through, not only was it being buried, but bent. By the time we were able to clear snow from it, the antenna was bent so it was facing straight down! The whole time performance never diminished. When the snow was cleared it popped right back up.

You guys are the greatest. Thanks for the tips. I just remembered that I have one of those little "pyramid" antennae's in my closet, so I'll dig it out and try that until Sean tries the Magnum this weekend. Sean, is it the same one that Audio Advisor carries for $90? Please keep me posted on how it goes. Anyone ever tried one from Antennae Performance?
