Default Increase range on 433 Mhz transmitter

Hello!

I just bought this: http://www.rustindustries.co.uk/remote.htm
The range is only 10-15 meters in free air, only 5-7 meters indoor.
Is it possible to connect a whip type antenna?
I have calculated a length ca 17 cm.
But i cannot see where to connect the antenna.
The transmitter has a loop style antenna, powered by one transistor and a
oscillator of some sort, i have drawn a schematic:

I have tried to connect the antenna to the collector, but that gave me no
output at all.
