Roypercy, got a BIC FM-8 Beam Box about a decade ago when KVMR moved their studio location up in Nevada City. Used in conjunction with a Fisher RS-9115 receiver, as over-the-air monitor. Signal came from Banner Mountain, which was a few miles north-east. Reception was relatively clear in auld studio via Kenwood KR-2400-n-dipole. In new studio, prep room was next to station's electrical hub, which presented all kinds of RFI problems & over-whelmed KR-2400. So RS-9115-n-FM-8 helped a little bit. FM-8 has 4 aluminum plates, connected to 300 ohm wiring. Reception pattern can be changed via front panel according to need. As such, don't think increasing external wire gauge will help reception, unless you replace interior wiring as well. Nowadays RS-9115, FM-8, & modded Realistic MC-1000 speakers are on display in KVMR community room; where reception is much clearer. ... 73s para Sactown
