At 20 feet high your antenna can effectively see the horizon at about 6
miles from your house. So, to receive a FM station 150 miles away the FM
station needs to have it's antenna at an elevation of somewhere around 2
miles high. That is simply not feasible!!

At 100 miles the radio station needs an antenna about 1 mile high. Still
not feasible!

Basically, you should be able to receive a FM signal from a very well
equipped FM station out to 50 to 60 miles from their transmitting
antenna. Even at 60 miles the broadcast antenna needs to be around 2000
feet high.
