Default String up folded dipoles for FM?

Height in the attic? I think you missed the point! But thanks for
trying.

Any other answers? I'll check back here occasionally.

I can't unfold my commercial FM antenna in my atticc. Can I just
string wires of the same dimensions and intervals as the
commercial FM antenna, using string and duct tape and expect
similar reception? (Actually, I only care about receiving 88.5
MHz, if that simplifies anything.)

Another thought: Could I just tape up an array of cheap folded
dipoles in a line, 1 wavelength apart, and connect them all
together? (Could I put them 1/2 wavelength apart, switching
polarity for each in sequence?)

Thanks for any answers.

--Ken.
