Before I buy this antenna...

I'd like to hear some of your thoughts on it.

Antennacraft FM6 6 Element FM Antenna (FM6)

I am a bit strapped on cash at the moment, so if I can get through the Es season with a decent antenna, that would be great. I'll save the bigger antennas for later.

Solid signal has it listed as $20.93, with 16 dollars shipping.

To be honest, I've been searching every pawn shop in SLC for at least a TV antenna, and none of them have one.

Radioshack doesn't have this antenna either, I asked. They only showed me TV antennas, and I already have one that performs weaker than a dipole, so no need for that.

Jim (from Colorado) recommends this, what do you guys think?
Thanks!

Go for it. According to Danny, it is the same antenna that R Shack USED to sell. I snapped one up just before they stopped carrying it.

As far as bang-for-the-buck, you can't go wrong. Lightweight too.

My FM catches AT HOME are with that antenna.

Justin, although its performance is nothing to get excited about, the FM6 is a great value. But you can add a single element to somewhat improve its gain and dramatically improve its pattern. See

I have one of these antennas, I put it up, to replace, my Turnstill FM ant. I am Not inpressed with antenna. If it were me, I'd save up, and get a Winegard HD 6055 for $80.99 or for about $27.00 you can their HD 6000!
