Is there a product you can recommend as "The Best Omnidirectional FM
antenna"?

If so, which one is it? (brand/model and/or URL please)

Oh - one significant constraint is that it cannot be larger than about
3 feet (1 meter) in any dimension, because it is going to be installed
in my attic. I know it cuts the signal by 50%, but I am willing to
live with that since I am assuming that if a whip antenna on a
portable radio works great in my basement, a **good* omnidirectional
FM antenna in the attic must work *at least* as good...

Anyway, any tip you can provide on finding such an omnidirectional FM
antenna would be highly appreciated. VHF/UHF omnidirectional antennas
that do *not* trap the FM band with a notch filter are welcome, too.

Thanks,
Lynn

Lynn -

2 of the largest manufacturers of outdoor TV and FM antennas are
AntennaCraft and Winegard -- BOTH located in Burlington, IA ... a small
city with a big reputation for TV reception!
Radio Shack was one of Antenna Craft's biggest customers (what you buy in
their stores)

Winegard

While there are a number of Directional FM antennas, here are the
Omni-Directional FM Antennas - that you asked for:

The Antenna Craft Model FM-SS (crossed folded dipoles)

The Winegard Model PR-6010 (Turnstile)

Thank you Greg. I guess these are the only available options that meet
my "specifications" (omnidirectional, can fit my attic).

Between these two, do you happen to know (or have an opinion) which one
is better?

Thanks,
