FM antennas.............Does ANBODY still make them?


Recently picked up a nice Onkyo 9090 II tuner. It’s reputed to be one of the better DXR’s out there, very good sensitivity. Haven’t hooked it up yet, but I’d like to connect it to a good FM antenna...................I spent much of the day online looking for one and basically came up empty. None of the big guys make them anymore, Channel Master, Winegard, etc............My location is problematic. I’m in the woods, surrounded by tall trees and there is a nice mountain rising several hundred feet above me to the East and South East, the direction most stations come from. There are a few small omni’s out there, but I really need something better than that for my location.

Today everybody uses cable and yes, I know that you can pull in a gazzillion stations and any kind of music that you want that way...........but I’m old school.......and old. I like tuning things in and playing with the gear..........cable is no fun.

Surely somebody has a source for good FM antennas.............or plans to build one.

I hate cable. Everything used to be free. Today everything costs $$ and you get a ton of stuff that you don’t even care about, for a price.

Any ideas out there??

I’ve been hanging on to OTA TV and radio on the left coast, where EVERYTHING is $$$$$$$$$$!! Thankfully, some level of free TV/radio will always be around.

Hard to imagine living in some otherwise great area, and not have my 1965 Mac tube tuner playing some great Classical.

Couple of clicks, at your doorstep in a week.

There are members at the tuner asylum with DIY projects.
You probably would save a couple of bucks with some effort/time
put into sourcing everything. I’m too lazy and just want to listen.
