Can Someone Recommend a FM Antenna?

I would like to pick up a radio station that is about 230 miles from me. I can pick up this station in my car for about 60-90 miles outside their home market.

Any chance I could get this on an outdoor FM antenna that won't require me to put up a 50' pole? I live in an apartment, so I'm limited to something I can mount on my deck that won't be too obtrusive. My deck faces the city where this station is located.

Thanks!

    Try a radio shack uhf,vhf, fm TV antenna. If it does not work, take it back and get your money back. They make small ones that would work on a patio.

    I like the terk Pi but would pass on the Q. Hey I have an old terk that is 14 years old and I think they are just fine. Shop at a store where you can return it if it does not work.,
