I wish I had done this sooner. The antenna is 11 foot square. I have spent hours and got a workout going up and down the ladder and balancing on and folding myself in the rafters and scratching myself on roof sheathing tacks, but I'm enjoying the clear stereo FM reception. There are a number of stations at 325deg. and 1 at 15 deg. I aligned this at 325deg. and thought I would need a 2nd antenna. On first listen the station at 15deg. is sounding much better, so I'm not sure if I'll build another one.
