Outdoor FM antenna

My zipcode is 71260. I currently have a CM4228 with a 3041 DSB amp for OTA. I am looking to purchase an outdoor FM antenna that will mount on the same pole with the CM4228. The FM stations I want to pull in are 40 miles away in zipcode 71203 area.

Any suggestions on what type of FM antenna to purchase would be appreciated.

Either the Winegard 6000 or the Antennacraft FM6 should work well for you if the desired weaker stations are in the same direction. I have personally used the Antennacraft & was very pleased with it's performance with stations up to 80 miles away.

If your desired stations are in various directions, the Antennacraft FMSS or Winegard 6010 may be a better choice. Either of these omni antennas should provide better performance then the 4228.

Mount the 2 antennas at least 4 feet apart if possible to eliminate any possible interaction between them.
