Anyway, in my dorm (ten story building with LOTS of concrete and steel), I
had little luck with a FM dipole in the room.  I then bought the $13.00
Radio Shack omnidirectional (mast mount) antenna, and hung it from the ceiling
which sometimes worked and sometimes didn't - rotating it (funny, it was
supposed to be omni-directional) often helped.  I also had a FM signal booster
but I wouldn't recommend wasting money on one of those - in a fringe area
or an area with lots of interference, it just amplifies the static and the
interference...  Good luck - the best thing I did to improve FM reception was
to move out of the dorms at the end of the year and into my own apartment
where I could tap the cable and (through a A/B switch) use an antenna conven-
iently installed in our attic.
