Home Radio Road

Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

RE: Indoor Antenna?

I put an 11 ft rhombic on the ceiling of my home office- works great! Now I can actually hear noise free FM stereo. I live on the first floor of a brick commercial building ca. 1850 in the Boston area- reception is a nightmare.

I also found that I was able to get decent reception in the bedroom by making a much larger dipole- mine is 11 feet. Angled the dipole at 45 degrees to the transmitter.

You can buy 100 ft of clear 300ohm lead on Ebay for cheap and make all the antenna tests you want. I would suggest trying a larger dipole first and working from there
