I was looking at the big Yagis, hoping that one of them would be a great FM antenna. So, now I'm thinking that all I need is a simpler TV antenna in the attic for that duty since an indoor TV antenna - one of those thin, black square models - is very nearly good enough. And put a dedicated FM antenna on a rotor outdoors - if I can find or build one. I had already discovered that the FM-6 was dc'd.

I read where one diy-er uses aluminum arrow shafts for building antennas, though I found no plans. I also wondered about copper tubing. And yes, I have used the fmfool site many times (as well as radiolocator, which also is very useful, as it provides AM info, too) - but they recommend 35' height for stations to my east due to the hill, but I don't see going quite that high, but rather just a few feet above the roof peak of my single-story bungalow.

Any of these seem worthwhile?

Found this in Amazon reviews, goes with that third model - looks like I've found something decent?
