I wish they would bring back the Winegard HD-6000 FM antenna.

It was a small antenna, but it did the job I wanted it to do. I'd like to have a spare antenna. I see one on Ebay but I'd like to get it from Amazon really. They discontinued so many antennas.
 
Here's a set of plans with all the dimensions and modeling. You might want to contact someone who has practical suggestions for finding materials to build it, or maybe one of our posters here has some insights.

He also has other plans, including plans to enhance the FM-6.

Since many of us are now dealing with issues like second adjacent translators, new border stations in Canada, and IBOC, the Front to Side ratio is becoming more important to null out numerous cochannel stations and IBOC interference. Nulling out one station is often not enough anymore.
