Not necessarily. Will depend on transmitted FM power, distance from Tx,
and
intervening terrain between Tx and Rx antenna.

How far is "quite a distance"?


By design FM transmitters are not designed to go very far. Antenna will
not help.

ONLY AM, SHORTWAVE, SSB, and MICROWAVE. The 2 Meter can go far because of
the repeater station, but that's a different story.
