I wonder how well they would work for FM since they're 144Mhz. Anyway, the 10 element one would be over $200 anyway. My 2nd FM6 should be here Saturday morning. I live only about an hour from Solid...

I plan on taking the stacker down but I moved it all the way down the mast so there's a good 4 feet separation between the two antennas. Right now seems like a perfect day to see if there's a...

Yeah I'm probably going to take it down today or tomorrow. I have the stacker on Craigslist too but I doubt it'll sell which sucks because I really don't have anywhere to put it.

Yeah, more gain.

Referring to this article (http://www.anarc.org/wtfda/stagger.pdf).... You use a combiner and not a set of twin leads to link the antennas. Is that the best way to go?

Well I would like one of similar size, not a 12 foot monster with maybe a little more gain. The FM6 is great, but reception of some stations could be better. I'm not looking for sturdier, but maybe...

Where can I find a better FM antenna than the Antennacraft FM6? I know there are many out there but they all seem to be out of production and I can't find them anywhere. I would even buy a used one....

101.1 WRIF occasionally fades, sometimes get's fuzzy. Maybe it's just the way the antenna is pointed. 88.7 CIMX seems to come in pretty consistently with RDS.

I got the FM6.

So if I just get a distribution amp, everything should just remain about the same as it would be if it just came straight from the antenna?
