Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

RE: Antenna wire length

Just a follow up. Most of the stations we listen to happen to be clustered at the low end of the FM scale. I trimmed the wire to 75 cm and lost most of the stations at that end, but the stations in the middle of the band came in fine. I then used the frequency wavelength calculator to find the 1/2 wave length for 91.9 mhz, which is a station we listen to often, and it came to 64.25 inches. I soldered a wire of that length in, and now we have great reception of our usual suspects. Haven't tried the other end of the band yet. Thanks to everyone who responded. I love learning something new, and AA is a great place for that.
