I wonder if the jungle job could be assembled using replacement telescoping antennas that are sometimes available for shortwave radios?
Three telescoping antennas, a bit of wood and some wire?

any reasonably-sized directional antennas for FM broadcast radio reception?
Recently, I became interested in chasing down some low-power community FM broadcast stations.
Yes, I know it is possible to build yagis to cover the commercial FM broadcast range, but I was hoping for something more compact and more readily portable...
Cheers, Jock

Re: Perhaps goofy antenna idea
"Also since it will be invisible and won't be an obstacle and since it will effectively reduce the noise a lot on lower frequencies" -- music to my ears.
Once a year, we get winter here at my location. I don't suppose snow and/or ice will affect the performance of the LOG?

Re: Perhaps goofy antenna idea
The LOG antenna idea is intriguing.
Measurements:
- Left corner of house to downspout: approx. 16 ft
- Downspout to right corner of house: approx 19.5 ft.
- height of gutter above ground at downspout: approx 10 feet
Cheers, Jock

Re: Perhaps goofy antenna idea
Here's my situation: I planned to run the antenna underneath the plastic rain gutter and run the downlead behind the downspout. Underneath the ladder is a strip of concrete sidewalk. The radio room is behind the two windows all the way to the right. https://i.postimg.cc/w3QrF2HQ/Oakwood-and-antenna-...

Got it. Thanks!
I think I will try first with the adaptor.
