Hi All,

Does anyone know if any type of antenna, be it stock, shark fin or stubby, that will increase my FM reception? The signal from the channel that I listen to is not that strong. Is there a way to amplify the signal? I am completely stock at the moment.

Thanks!

And Merry Christmas :xmas:

Sirius-ly!

I listen to a college channel's rebroadcast of WGBH from Boston. It is a classical channel and it's seriously all that I like...a bastion of sanity in this crazy world.

someday, I WILL take the plunge and get a smart phone, but for now... dumb it is!

I always wonder is it still a smart phone when a dumb person owns it? Is the phone smarter than the owner?

I wish that I could like this twice!! :bowdown:

The gap between the two is closing quickly! *holds iPad to ear*

I'm laughing out loud here!

Lizzie,
As stated earlier in the thread, only a longer antenna can help FM reception, but not by much.

The FM broadcast signal is essentially a straight line from the broadcast tower......a comparatively weak one at that.
Because it is a straight line, and we live on a globe, as we travel away from the tower we begin to go under the signal.....that is where you hear it start to warble and then as you continue, it reaches a point where you have completely dropped below the signal

Thanks, Rob. I understand now how a longer antenna is the only way to get better reception.
