90 MILES#!!!!!! consider a signal amp on the mast just below the antenna,

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.

#NOT cheap anyway you slice it!
