Since the signal will be over flat land and water, I think it may be doable with a high enough gain antenna. Manchester, NH pulls in WGBH okay but that's only about 50 miles. North of Manchester, in the foothills of the White Mountains, it gets bad real quick. Call 41, over in Kennebunkport, and ask him if you can bring an antenna and your Fanfare over to try it at his compound ;^)
Any WGBH FM radio listeners in S. Maine or Vermont
I live in the metro-Boston area & love WGBH FM radio for its Jazz & Classical programming. I'm thinking of relocating & wondering if there are any tuner fans getting this station in Maine, VT, or NH?
I get the station on my car radio about as far as Kittery ME., by Kennebunk it's getting iffy. I've thought of getting a Yagi FM antenna, but it seems pretty difficult to know in advance what the results would be. Right now I'm thinking of moving to Kennebunkport or Portland (betw. 90--120 miles N. of Boston).
BTW, I've checked the range of WGBH (a 98,000 watt station) on radio-locator.com--it's "fringe range" seems about 50-60 miles; so I'm wondering what a great outdoor antenna could do. They do provide streaming audio, but from what I've read, it would be a poor substitute for listening with my Fanfare Tuner.
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
