In Reply to: FM antenna two questions posted by Fishboat on October 1, 2006 at 15:38:34:
but one with adj. gain - set it to lowish gain, IE almost 'just a buffer' for best audible results - noise versus signal.for the antenna/s as high as possible is best, so a guyed and higher mast up there, would be better
aim the thing up a bit, too. just 10 to 15 degrees
OR
depending on the amps cost cf this - try stacking TWO antennas with the top one staggered back by a quarter wavelength. (I think ?), see the FM tuner group and TIC for ideas on these distances between and stagger depth! Use a low-loss combiner - transformer type!
And, in any case use VERY good cable, better than GOOD RG6, say RG11 or better, but with a solid-copper core (NOT plated steel) up to the house, and then rg6 to the wall plate/s.
