We have a FM Omni aerial on our chimney in Conon Bridge with booster and struggle to receive FM radio stations. We wish we could receive the radio Scotland news for the Highlands and Islands which has such interesting bulletins. We know it is available on the Internet but we are a long way from the Dingwall exchange so there is a poor service. We wonder if investing in a larger aerial is worth while, do you have any suggestions.
