How to achieve long-distance FM radio reception (FM-DX)?
To enhance reception, use an outdoor VHF antenna or suitable FM antenna (low
attenuation coaxial cable), fix it as high as possible (take into account the antenna
usage safety alerts) and point it in the direction of the desired FM broadcast. If the
signal is weak, you may require installing a low-noise antenna amplifier. For FM-DX
purposes, more antenna sections can increase the signal. Adding more antennas to
create an antenna array can further enhance signal gain and directionality.
