I don't know how many stations broadcast in the Corvallis area, but I feel certain the Magnum Dynalab MD-205 will help to improve the quality of your listening experience.

Actually, there are three Mc MR's: a 77 in the main system, one in the bedroom system, and a 74 in the home office system.
I get a 24/7 listener-supported classical station and a community college station (lots of jazz) from Eugene (~40 miles away) and a 24/7 listener-supported jazz station from Gresham (~70, courtesy of a rotored Winegard yagi in the main system). I'd see the MD-205 as particularly useful for the latter, as well as for stations in the Portland area, almost the same distance away.
