I don't often look at this forum as the US radio environment is so different to ours in the UK. Anyway I dropped by and saw this interesting thread.

I have a Ron Smith Galaxy G17. For various reasons this is not installed externally but is in my roof space (loft), NB: manufacturer's picture. This is beamed on the BBC's prime FM transmitter at Wrotham in Kent.

Interestingly it was the antenna used by Naim when developing the FM tuner that I use, the two box (tuner and power supply) Naim NAT 01. That has given me 30 years of daily excellence on BBC broadcasts. However it isn't a tuner that I would recommend for the crowded US FM band and it was very much designed for the conditions over here. I don't know how things are in Oz for the OP however.
