Reception in a tin can
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			My office is located in a metal warehouse type structure which 
effectively shields us from most outside signals.  If I want to listen 
to the radio or use my cell phone inside the building I have to open a 
bay door.  Is there a way I can get all those radio waves inside the 
building without opening the doors.  Is it possible to place an 
antenna outside  and have everything rebroadcast inside?  The main 
reason for this approach is the cell phone.  It would be kind of 
impractical to run an antenna from my cell phone to the outdoors. 
 
Barring the rebroadcasting idea, I am still interested in what the 
best way is to get better reception on the radio.  Do I need to run a 
wire outside or somehow ground the radio.  Go easy on me, I've heard 
some stuff about 7mhz being 23 feet long at a quarter wave.  If your 
gonna spring some of that stuff on me I need a little more detailed 
information.  I'm not up on radio lingo but I am technically capable. 
 
TIA
