You can do it yourself. Take a look at

The wavelength of 88.3 mHz is 66.88 inches. Your dipole should be 1/2 that
length: 33.5.


Hmmm...the website you give above contradicts that. It says:

1/2 WL dipole length = 468/f = 468/88.3 = 5.3 feet = 63.6 inches.

Since none of the existing FM dipoles I have are 63.6 inches long (the
longest being just under 5 feet), should I assume that is why they are
so poor in the "college" (88-90 MHz) FM band?

Ah. you *can* get 6 fters. They are custom parts, though, and not
sold at Radio Shack and simmilar places.
