IF all your desired stations are pretty much in the same direction this is a serious but cheap antenna, if you don't price your time.
'FM fool' can tell you where on the map the relevant transmitters are.
In the article there's a spread version with a wider acceptance angle. The article assumes you will use 300 ohm ribbon like your T antenna and thus you are building a double rhombic with twice the gain.
You can in any case play with the plan shape and thus widen or narrow the acceptance angle. aka beam-width if you were using it as a transmitter antenna.
IF you build one, even for the basement ceiling, please report here.

Can't say I understand what you're talking about, but I appreciate the advice just the same. Thanks.

Your clock needs to be set ahead 2 mins. to be correct.
have you read the article in FAQs here at AA? I am betting not.i) if you make the decisions about what you can put up / install in the basement? WAF? Thought that was pretty clear!
ii) FM Fool is a US web site giving sufficient information, for you to understand your FM reception issues, for most of your desired stations.
ii a) To aim an antenna the size of a rhombic or a Yagi - which you do need to do - it would help to know what to aim at, no?
iii) Tuners - which you are very keen on - are of themselves the second most important part of a radio reception system.
iv) FM just is directional, no tuner made can eliminate multi-path effects. But a directional antenna with real gain can, and what's more will keep distortion and noise low.
