In Reply to: Picking up a station 350 miles away posted by aarocks on September 7, 2016 at 09:20:08:
FM radio reception as a dependent system, depending most on the antenna, and accepting that as FM wave-lengths are 12 ft on average that the antenna thus CAN'T be small.
Gain is the issue and gain is orthogonal with size.
Especially when DX-ing which is the case here.
The internet has lots of FM Dxing sites, to boot.
That they live on a mountain won't hurt, but the facts are what they are.
------------------------------------------------
This attitude which focusses on the tuner / receiver seems rife here, and is implicit in your originating post.
It is simply not possible to get an FM station > 200 miles away without a seriously large antenna aimed at the transmitter.
A large exterior Rhombic -see FAQs here - on poles would be cheaper that two big and long and stacked log-periodic boom antennas.
