Okay! Here's a chance to answer something I've been wondering for the two years I've owned my present boat.

My favorite FM station (KNKX for you Washingtonians) broadcasts on many low-power repeaters and I often find myself in a location where I feel like I should be able to receive but don't.

I'm no engineer, but I know enough to know that FM broadcast sits just above the TV-low band And below the aircraft band (localizers, to be specific).

So the question: TV is something I go boating to escape, but, would one of the little disc antennas improve my FM radio reception? What about a quarter-wave aircraft band antenna?
