the wavelength at 98MHz from FM is about 3 metres. IE about 10 feet.
The ST 2 isn't even mildly resonant at such frequencies.
Do try to get your head around that.
IF you invest, up high as you are, in a simple cheap FM Yagi, 3-4 elements, pointed right AT the transmitter, you -will- hear a big improvement.
I am not interested in dissing MD as a thing to do, but I am interested in maximising your music.
