    Anyone know a good place to pick up an external fm antenna (dipole) in the Dublin/kildare area. Looking for an over the counter place not online need it rather quickly ??

    This is in Dublin near Tallaght. They have a counter

    There was a discussion on the various types here:

    Is it one very weak station a long way away? ; if so then a directional aerial may be better.

    Especially if you want to pick up BBC FM radio from Divis because it transmits BBC R2 on 90.1 Mhz which is the same frequency used by Spirit FM in Waterford but which can be picked up some days in Dublin. An omnidirectional aerial will definitely pick up both of them.
