Vertical Omni Antenna

[ThomasB98908]

What is a good vertical omni directional antenna for FM?? I was contemplating building one - but are there any good commerrcial vertical FM antenna's stil available? I literally live in a bowl of foot hills so long range DX is out of the question but there are some stations that I get in rather weak that I would like to increase reception on.

A very simple antenna to build is the" vertical sleeve antenna" If you look this up on Google you will see a lot of them for Ham radio. Do not even bother with the math just make it 60" long. You can use any old coax you have around. Use it inside or outside on a piece of wood to keep it vertical. It is a lot simpler than a J-Pole that some may recommend
