Shark fin antenna reception in SF Bay area

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(GB Prius @ Apr 24 2007, 01:26 PM) [snapback]429246[/snapback]</div>

I live in Northbay - Petaluma. The SF stations, like Live 105 & KFOG 104.5 are not good here, some days they come in tho, but when I get to Novato there are fine. Glad there is a cd player.

 

*bump*

I am curious about this as well. I live in the SF East Bay area, and am very interested in the sharkfin.

I don't do a Lot of FM listening, but there is a local AM news station that I listen to daily during my commute and I would be disappointed if I lost their signal. (740 AM, KCBS)

I also plan on wiring my Sirius into the sharkfin if I can; but I don't want that to make reception even worse. (Sirius suggests that their antenna be at least 3 inches away from the cars FM antenna =/ )

 

I live on the Peninsula. I didn't notice any change in reception after installing my shark fin. All the radio stations still come in, no static, etc. I don't remember all the stations I have programmed, but I can tell you that NPR works fine before and after.

 

could be good enough for me.

If you have a sharkfin already; maybe you can check how well you get AM 740 and FM 105.3 ?? Those are the only two regular stations I listen to, now that I have my Sirius =D

I've had my Sharkfin for over a year now and reception hasn't skipped a beat. I commute from San Jose to San Francisco just about everyday and all my favorites come in clear. (105.3 106.9 107.7 740AM)

I'm in Modesto (90 miles E of S.F.) and with my sharkfin I get am 740 fine and am 810 rather weak. My FM is fine for 104.4, 91.3, 91.7 and 105.5 but those FM's are not Bay area stations.

I think in the BA you will be fine with a SFA. Use your ipod or sat. for extended trips.
