The problem with the Terk and simlar antennas is that they amplify the garbage as well as the signal, at least in my experience. The Magnum silver ribbon antenna I replaced the Terk with was far superior, and the outdoor antenna I got left anything else in the dust. Not sure how much any of this can help you though; you can get a decent FM signal from about 50 miles, if my car radio is any indicator, maybe a bit more in a very flat area (NW Ohio, perhaps--I recently drove from NY to Minnesota, and could catch Toledo stations and Madison stations reasonably well from about 65 miles away), as the FM signal can't bounce off the atmosphere like an AM one can and therefore can't go past the earth's curvature (or at least that's how I remember it).
