My dad needs a GOOD indoor OR outdoor FM radio antenna to recieve the Gospel
station he likes. It comes in clear in the car even in the garage but no
luck in the house. Have tried the wire antenna,35 dollar radioshack indoor
antenna,rabbitears,rooftop TV antenna,ect. He is trying to get it on his
Fisher Reciever...He used to get a similar station on satellite but it is no
longer available.Southern gospel stations are hard to come by here in
Maine...LOL...There is only one....

Any thoughts or ideas????


Here is a link to build his own out of flat 300 ohm lead in wire

If you need to fine tune for a specific frequency divide 5565 by the
station frequency in MHZ and that will give you the length in inches
for the top part of the antenna.
These antennas are directional so try it first on one wall and again
on one 90 degrees away
