Thanks for the info. That sounds like a good place to avoid.

Here is a link to build his own out of flat 300 ohm lead in wire
http://www.kgnu.org/ht/helpfm.html#makeantenna

If you need to fine tune for a specific frequency divide 5565 by the
station frequency in MHZ and that will give you the length in inches
for the top part of the antenna.
These antennas are directional so try it first on one wall and again
on one 90 degrees away

I bet its the radio and most home stero fm radios have poor specs
anyway, it might be Kloss that has a good unit or get a car radio, but
learn sensitivity specs, there is a big online cataloge seller of car
stuff [ fotgot the name] that publishes specs for about all car radios
made, and everything else on car stereos.
