I have a Fisher FM 2110 tuner Radio Shack antenna 20ft to 25ft high. What can I do to improver the recption that does not cost $$ I live in Houston Tx and want to get stations atleast 100 to 150 miles away. 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. |
