A Dipole simply doesn't work well here….even with a makeshift 'rotor' to try to maximize signal strength.
Winegard will have what you need….even if it IS a monster needing a 15 foot circle for full rotation.
I need a 'fringe' rated antenna, since the small 'omni' 'S' shaped won't provide any better results than the dipole.
Than I get into CCRs of my housing development, which while completely IGNORED by one and all, DO mean I can't have an outdoor antenna. I suspect the antenna I NEED for FM would fit in the Attic, but probably NOT with the needed rotor! I'm between San Diego and LA/Orange county markets which are roughly 180 degrees apart. And yes, Many of the northern antennas ARE clustered up on Mt Wilson, which theoretically helps.

Nope, all my good music feeds come over small dish, which I'm guessing has better SNR than FM and about the same frequency response.
Too much is never enough

A 300 ohm antenna input wire is a flat piece of wire about 3/8 inch wide and it's flat. - Michael Samra 23:46:20 04/17/14 (0)
