Cool FM Reception

I think this is the correct place to post this:

So, I'm farting around with my TV antenna and was going
to experiment with stacking an FM whip to it, despite knowing
that my Antennas Direct db8e is relatively weak on the VHF
band ... now I'm thinking of chucking the whip altogether
( methinx it's a Magna Dynalab ST2, unsure because I can't
find the paperwork ), but 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. The problem is that a number of American Yagis
are no longer on the market, such as the legendary Antenna
Craft FM6. Am I on the right path here?

Also in consideration is the distance of the UHF antenna:
it is mounted roughly 6' away. Small house so options are
limited on placement, what with the cable length issues.

Thanks!
