Maybe look for your nearest Transmitting station (I.O.W., someone said), work out approx. crow's miles and any intervening nasty topography (mountains in Hampshire????).. One can always achieve 'adequate' signal with bits of string, loft-mounted arrays etc. but there's only one sure way to achieve optimum deflection outside of big cities/transX close radius coverage. That is to align an external aerial mounted as high as you can. Boosters add noise.
It's a funny thing, but the difference, on a good tuner/system, between getting an adequate signal and a good one is clearly heard in s.q. terms. Omni-directional is certainly not the way to go for good FM reception. Just my two-pennyworth and I revel in what R3 (and others to a lesser extent) can put out in holographic images and realism.
