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

My apologies for the 'wuss' remark.

The thing to do first is to find where on the map your desired* FM station's transmitters are, and how far. Use the sight called FM Fool - US site - for their positions. And the bearing/s from your home to them, get a map and plot them on to it.

*I'm assuming you have FM in the car/s, so that will tell you which stations you can be bothered with. In my case here in Canberra, Australia, there are just two out of more than ten.

IF they are all in one direction - or nearly - a spread double rhombic - see the article here in FAQ - just may be the go.

What else is up in your loft? Insulation? Fibreglass can be a complete bugger to work near - even just batts. In which case a yagi and a rotator might be a quicker install.

Listening, out.
