I think I need a directional antenna pointed SW to get the coveted lower FM band, aka "college radio". There's a number of lower power stations from that area and was thinking at least a 4-element Yagi might do the trick.
Hello, BigBean

Thanks for the FM report image. I see you found out that the FM reports don't link like the TVFool reports. There is a way to do it, but it is complicated.

Which low power stations, by callsign, are you interested in receiving?

FM Yagi antennas are getting hard to find. Newark has the Stellar Labs 30-2460:

Six feet away is OK, unless the UHF antenna is in front of the FM antenna.
