Good aerial like a three element Yagi or better, but super crucial is distance between it and any other structure like chimney or roof line, being at least 2 metres if horizontally polarised. Any less and you are compromising antenna potentially significantly. The distance for broadcast FM is far greater than for TV and longer than DAB. If you can’t do this, then go vertically polarised. Most broadcast FM on the 88 to 108 MHz band is dual polarised.

Ron Smith’s son is carrying on the business.

I’d be a bit concerned about wind loading on that chimney as it is…

FYI the wind loading on the Galaxie 14 @ 100mph is 43 lbs.
Not exactly sure what that means in chimney stack terms, but its relativly more than a simple 3 element yagi … the G14 has 11 more elements (dipole, directors and refletors) plus a double central beam and some verical bits.
Repointing has to be the way to go.

My G14 lives in the attic :smiley:

I take comfort from the fact that the trees in the picture do not look like those that experience much wind loading.
