So, I should not mount an FM antenna in the attic? You are saying it
belongs mounted to the exterior of the house?

I currently have a Terk amplified antenna for both AM and FM
reception. The improvement is good but not dramatic. I tried another
model with similar results.


The improvement is actually poor to non-existent, all other things being
equal.


We will be building a new home soon. My inclination is to purchase an
aerial antenna and assemble it in the attic. This should provide more
dramatic results on the FM band (or so I have read).



Hold that thought unless your new house has a metal roof.


My question here is "What should I do to provide an AM signal boost?" Can i

lace a loop

style antenna in a wall prior to the drywall being hung?


Yup.


Do i need to provide a loop antenna in the attic? Is it irrelevant since

neither

would be on an exterior wall?


Height probably won't hurt AM, and may help.


Your help is gratefully appreciated.


Try google. I searched on

am loop antenna attic

and came up with lots of interesting stuff.
