  Where would you get a yaggi ? I don't think they are manufactured anymore! I have two mounted in my attic. My friend wants me to install one and I can't find any company that makes them!

    As a last resort, you can use a VHF TV antenna. Not as much gain per element as a dedicated 88-108 MHz Yagi, but certainly much better than a dipole. Of course, the problem with a yagi is that you have to turn it...

    Well, there's always the DIY method, if someone wants one badly enough.

    I just grabbed the first link I came to, but if you Google "DIY FM Yagi" there are others.
