Just a few links on just grounding.
You should have been with us when we did the 400 footers and the salt basins with the 8 foot deep 2 foot wide salt rock and the 12" wide copper strapping to the bottom legs of the 160 meter tower vertical.
It can get absolutely insane on grounding an antenna/tower. I still have 2 55 foot motorized crank up to install along with my 4 element M2 dual driven 40 meter yagi and my 36 foot boomed KT-36XA Plus. the towers are rated 52 sq feet wind load @ 85 MPH and have the remote boxes to use as directional vertical arrays with the yagis serving as capacitance hats.
Bubo nice job on the grounding exercise but next time you go hunting for a balun contact this fellow:
Bob at Palomar Engineers in San Diego. I know this guy and he makes some of the best baluns money can buy. BTW a balun stands for Balanced to Unbalance and since you are using unbalanced cable RG6 Quad shield you would be best off having an antenna with a F connector or SO239 or even an N connector if it get down to it.
I run a 2 meter quagi from INNOVAntennas out of England and I think they make a version (commercial) for FM broadcast. These things are serious 2-3 inch 1/2 inch thick booms, solid 5/16 to 5/8 aluminum rod for elements. They are engineered to withstand ridiculous conditions, handle wind in excess of 100 MPH, just a BEAST.They are not cheap but they are the quietest antenna I have ever used.
M2 also makes some excellent antennas and if you hit them up they could possibly put something together specifically calibrated for the FM Broadcast band.
OF course you can make your own from some 2 inch thick walled PVC insert a dowel rod drill a few holes make a quad, yagi or quagi and have a nice antenna including hardware for under $100 or even less if you hit scrap yards.
A 8 element Quagi on a 10 foot boom would give you around 10-12 dB gain fairly easily and be a cinch to rotate with a light duty rotor. I have made 8 Bays or 8 Antennas stacked and coupled together for DX SSB work. Made my own frames, power dividers, couplers feed point harnesses and mounts.
If you check CL look for someone getting rid of a 2 meter beam and if in good shape just steel wool it, clean up the junction points, do the 1005/Frequency in MHZ and add a little stiff #4 or #2 wire to the elements then put it up. You could even find some aluminum tubing and just lengthen the elements a bit to obtain a good match. Even if you don't do anything else to modify the antenna you can still use it to some extent fro Broadcast FM, but a properly matched antenna will give you the best results.
Or go hunt down a VHF/UHF Yagi TV Antenna and use it for TV and FM with a splitter. Rat Shack is blowing these things out right now.
MFJ makes a cheap pre-amp and has kits that can work for FM broadcast range. Other companies do as well pricing varies so shop around.
