Does seem to lose some 'body' in mono, but it's very clean. I imagine I'll have to give this a listen for myself, but wondering whether I'd be missing much if I just listen in mono. This is mostly for classical music, and probably some old jazz and stuff. Last question - perhaps better for a new thread - FM Stereo is still a little noisy Does this run of extra coax then become part of the antenna? I wonder whether it will be too 'heavy' and affect the signal. I would make a better connection at the tuner than the spades one. I was thinking of using this one with a length of coax as an extension over to terminate at the tuner. I have another dipole antenna that terminates in a coax connector. So I've got one of those cheap slip-on spade to coax converters. Okay, so this particular dipole has the spades at the end.

You're right Doc - signal reception varies greatly with orientation and even just my proximity to it, not even having to touch it. I might switch to that and then see just what exactly it does for signal with it positioned right at the window edge without me touching it. Right now I've got it secured with 'decorative' blue painters tape, but Bluetack would be better for playing around with the positioning. I bought a bunch of that stuff a while ago thinking I'd use it for bookshelf speaker feet and whatnot. I noticed some interference with it running across the very edge of the window opening, and realized that this is where the metal drywall corner edging runs. Here, I've got the legs stretching up and down about 8" back from the opening. Sideways T? This particular setup has the tuner at about eye level for me, so the antenna goes out the back, across the wall to the right, through a corner, then over to a window. I'm using the 'vertical' orientation I think. I'm up and runningĬurrently a hybrid of suggestions.

You may get better results with the "T" oriented like the letter "T", or it might be better rotated 90 degrees relative to the printed letter "T"(i.e., sideways, I didn't describe this very well, did I?) try both. Good sensitivity on either side of the "T", essentially no sensitivity at the "ends" of the "T". Remember the reception pattern of a "T" dipole looks like a figure 8. I.e., the higher the antenna is, the farther away is its horizon FM signals essentially follow the "line of sight" your antenna will "see" a farther away signal when it is higher than when it is lower. Tryin' it in front of a window (or, as I have been known to do, sort of casually and unobtrusively draped along a convenient curtain rod!) is always a good idea if practical. If you're in a building with metal framing (or - heh - a metal roof, like ours), you may be in a Faraday Cage, otherwise, interior walls are probably OK - although the less "stuff" between antenna & signal, the better (of course). Your antenna really doesn't care about anything but (RF) grounds in terms of windows, walls, etc.
