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.


I had some Fisher equipment made around 1980 by Sears. It worked OK
then but didn't last very long.
