given that both are in low bandII a stacked pair of DIY low band 3 element yagis may be even better.

Commercial FM antennas are 'cut' for the entire band, from 88 to 108.

A pair of 3 element antennas is pretty easy to make, and might easily fit in a loft* side by side. Search on the web for a 3-element DIY yagi formula. Cut both for the centre freq. between each each station!

In a loft kiln dried oregon will stay straight, for yonks as booms plus use broom handles for masts, drill one inch hole into joists at suitable distances apart.

listening out.
