Surreal, at one time I had made a 1/2 wave FM antenna out or a couple of pieces of PVC pipe and some 300 ohm antenna lead. Basically, I took a piece the right length ( about 6 foot if I remember ) and put a "T" fitting in the middle of it, connected to a long piece as the mast. The wire was strung inside it and help in place by PVC glue. I mounted it about 6 feet above my roof.
I could get at least 100 stations crystal clear. It was the best antenna I have ever had for FM.
BTW: I never had any luck with signal boosters.
