An omni may work, but a directional antenna like the FM-6 mounted outside would be a better choice if those 2 stations are your main goal. Are you trying to receive the HD signal of either station?

Why not the Antennacraft AC-9? There is about a 90° spread of the desired channels. Wouldn't the CM 3016 & AC C290 be too directional?

The CM 5016 would be a good choice, but WAY overpriced. We...

Absolutely. I had one of the best VHF-FM antenna years ago & it didn't really work any better than the FM6.

I actually had the even larger 1110(16 feet long), but could't find a pic.

What station(s) are you experiencing fading?
