i would suggest going to radio shack.com and they have a FM directional
antenna that is around $20-30 for it and its designed just for FM radio

Pardon me if this is the wrong place to ask this question, but hopefully
I can get an answer here.

What would be the best type of antenna for receiving FM radio stations
up 80 miles away(Tampa to the north, Fort Myers to the south)? The
antenna would be mounted outside, up to 30' high. Would an
omni-directional antenna work, or should I stick with a directional?

My TV antenna is up about 55', but the amplifier has the trap on and I
can only get the strongest of the signals.


Thanks in advance, SR1


i have found mounting these antennas vertically makes them longer lasting...
because birds land on them and bend the elements down when mounted
horizontally.
