I can send you a copy. It was published in Audio magazine.

You'll need some loading resistors and up to 50-60 feet of twin lead, and a downlead.

Do a search here on rhombics, too.

What you can build and where will depend very much on what your SO feels about music and FM.

You'll need to know where the desired station's transmitters are in relation to you. In the USA - FM Fool is a good tool for that.

You then need to know how your home's floor-plan / floor plans are oriented, and figure out which spaces or roof spaces are suitable for a wire rhomboid with sides of 11 feet or more - with the long axis pointing at each desired station.

Really depends on how serious you are about FM as a source. :-)!
