I highly recommend a J-Pole antenna for FM. I have used them on 2m and 70cm
without disappointment. Even with 200mW I can hit repeaters some distance
away. They can be scratch made from copper tubing (if you can solder your
water pipes you can make this one). I am thinking of one for 6M to run
52.525.

They are 5/8 wave and you get a respectable gain. Just make sure to feed it
with RG8 or 9913.

You can compute your requirements and see a model at

Hope this helps. E-mail me if you have any questions.

Hello all,

I would like to build the best all around omni-directional antenna,
that would have a good gain, in the FM broadcast band.

Any thoughts would be commended.

Sincerely,

Patrick Cambre
