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????



Something nobody's mentioned yet: You didn't say how old the Fisher was.
There was a time when they made decent stuff, probably back in the 60s &
70s. They dredged up the brand name in the mid-1980s and slapped it on
some of the worst **** imaginable. Worse than Sanyo, if that's possible.
Depending on the age of your dad's receiver, it may be a piece of crap.
And even if it's one of the good ones, it could probably use a going-over
by a competent tech, if you can find one.


Thanks for the on topic replies..joe is correct on his reciever being a
crappy one from from the early 90's I think..Maybe a little older. He also
has a NEW metal roof...I think a new reciever and outdoor omnidirectional
antenna should get his Southern Gosple music back.
