FM radio reception depends on distance between your receiver and the transmitting tower. A receiver with no antenna attached receives the strongest signals, but these may be prone to interference and drifting signals.

A dipole antenna is simple in configuration and uses inexpensive materials in construction. Mounting such an antenna outdoors improves its effectiveness. Tips Writer Bio
