I have a cheap alarm radio tuned to Classic FM which is not the strongest signal around. Normal listening is all but impossible due to interference unless I either hold the aerial wire or put my hand very close to the radio itself. The first option gives perfect clarity and the second reasonable listening but I find the need to be part of the system too restricting to be comfortable about either. Is there anything I could usefully use as a substitute? I have no idea why I should improve the reception so don't know what to try out.
I was originally going to badge this query as OT but on second thoughts it does seem distinctly diy.
