I THINK there FM only 'tenna costs a bit more, it would have three or 4 elements

IIRC they dropped the 6 element job, why I do NOT know!

If it's a uhf/VHF TV (and FM) directional item it's probably 'cut FOR SF's telly' - mainly, and not very good down at 88 meg, or below where VHF TV no longer goes I ween.

The distances of most of the great 'bay area/plus' Universities' and their FM stations, if worth it, suggests to me that you really do need to consider something of an FM-only nature AND a rotator.

Map desired stations onto a cheap topographical map (with contour lines) and your site, this will tell you how much of the potential 360 degrees you need to cover.

DIY skills? Hack saw and pop rivetting? It may be that an array of 2 bespoke 4 element 'long-boom' yagis is worth the work.
