She likes it and now.. she wants me to transmit to the community pool so she
can hear "her tunes" (about 2/3's of a mile away).
I also have a small, 1 watt signal power booster(?) kit on order to boost
the signal and would like to design an antenna w/o too much height or too
noticable for this gizmo (deed restrictions!)

Hmm, maybe Radio Shack's FM beam antenna -- about $20 I believe. If
it's small enough to fit your attic, that would get by the deed
restrictions.

Wow.. I went looking on Radio Shack's Web site and the outdoor antenna's are
expensive...
Were you referring to the Outdoor Antenna for UHF?

I seen on the web somewhere that I could get an antenna for about $30 or $40
for something like someone earlier had said a ground plane w/ drooping
radials.

Also, is there some kind of Noise filter or something similiar that could
cut down on the small hissing noise that I hear in between songs?

This is what I was thinking of, an FM-only beam, $25
