FM Antenna
I am getting to close up my walls after a basement remodel. Before I do, I
was wondering if there was a way to fashion an FM antenna, such as coax or something like that snaking up the wall, that might give me a bit of FM reception in the basement. Thanks. |

For those who don't get the joke, Buck Turgidson was the crazy Air Force
officer in "Dr. Strangelove" played by Sterling Hayden. |

Before you close up the walls, you can hack together a quick antenna to see if it is worth the effort. The most popular FM antenna was once the "folded dipole" made from twin-transmission line ... that was back when balanced 300 ohm antenna inputs were common. With coax inputs, an ordinary wire dipole antenna is a good choice. Orient the antenna for the best reception for the weakest station of interest. Google for "dipole antenna" to determine how long to make the antenna. |
