This has likely been posted before. As a classical music fan, I enjoy listening on FM. Unfortunately, the number of stations with classical programming has declined. I live in Hurley NY. In an effort to get WQXR I purchased a 5 element antenna. Not very easy these days. Found one on Amazon. Tried in the basement pulled many stations no QXR. Moved to the attic. Got everything including WMHT off their repeater. Sadly, they share with the SUNY College at New Paltz, nights when school is in session. All was well, then I got cold and no signal. Weak at best.
Yesterday I went into the attic. Raised the antenna off the floor. Raised it three feet and tied to two cross beams. Fixed the low signal strength on WMHT. Four out of five signal strength in stereo with no noise. Pulls WNYC out of NYC. Too bad they are a NPR talk station most of the time. Get WFAN at 101.9. The only source for Yankee baseball here in Ulster. Hopefully they will get rid os Sunsan Walkman, who make the broadcasts unlistenable. Still no QXR, found their repeater is a whooping 10 watts!
Placement is key. Too bad FM programming has gotten bad. Loads of channels. Too much religion and Ifart radio channels. Glad to get MHT clearly. Also get the Vassar station in Poughkeepsie. Have a friend who plays jazz records on 78s. Pretty cool.
Yes I know I can get stations off the net. Sound quality is better of the air. Using a rebuilt Marantz 2270 a 4270 and Scott tuner. Happy that I can get what I get.
