Default Is Dominator/Predetor(~6dB gain) competent to CP antennas for LPFM?

Dear Bhuvan (no call given):

If the antenna is for a LPFM station licensed by the FCC (U.S.A.), then
tight restrictions exist on the height of the antenna. Where are you
located?

In any case, as Richard has said, one may buy an antenna for the purpose for
less money.

hype.


Hi Bhuvan,

Doubt no longer. You can buy the 6dBi for much less from any number
of other vendors. BEWARE of vendors that give their antennas "names."
Product numbers are sufficient for a commodity market. Better yet,
build your own. All antennas can be scaled to ANY frequency.

The single best advice that you could accept is to raise the antenna
as high as you can.

Thanks for your advice to raise the antenna as high as possible. I can
rise a 40 ft of 1 1/2 inch GI pipe on the rooftop of a four story
building to achieve 90ft hight for the antenna that shouldn't cost me
morethan $300 for the transmission of 100 watt at the transmitter
power. I am looking for the high gain antenna as ERP is not mesured
rather transmitter power is the concern here for FM transmission.

Regards,
Bhuvan
