best possible indoor antenna

the only fm antenna i have used is a whip type, the dynalab.it is made to be used either indoors or out. the antenna can easily be placed out of the way (in the floor joists, in a corner or in the attic). it's a great antenna, occasionally they come up used......don

Does it matter whether you use the Dynalab horizontally or vertically?

And, what about those "powered" antennae? Is that largely BS? The Dynalab is a hundred bucks (not bad, in the high-end world!), but there are a zillion even more discrete units out there for much less.

Dyna-lab whip is omni-directional when vertical, highly directional when horizontal.

I recently purchased the GODAR GIA and was totally amazed at how much better it was at pulling in weak signals from previously unlistenable stations. List price is $65 or so, but it can be purchased at CCRANE.COM for $55 shipped. By the way, I have absolutely no connection with either company.

The best indoor antenna I ever used, other than the TV antenna in the attic, was the Day Sequerra indoor antenna, easily besting everything else I tried. It wasn't as good as the attic-mounted Antenna or in the same league as the roof-mounted one I eventually got. But if you're in an apartment and have no other option, and can find one used, it was the best I ever found for that application.
