Rather invest in a yagi or corner reflector for FM broadcast.

More like one wavelength: it's a bit over 3 meters. Still, as you
say, it's too small.

Elevation of the antenna will do more good than anything else, if
you're in a bit of a low spot. Pick an FM antenna with some gain
(Yagi, for example) and get it up as high as you reasonably can. It's
a lot easier to get an FM Yagi up a few tens of feet than it is to get
a 12 foot dish up that high!

Oops! my mistake - I read inches instead of feet!
Not really used to ye olde english measuring system. Much happier in metric.
