Maybe you could wrap your wire around the ferrite, then ground one end
of the wire and use the rest as a long wire.

OK, I have an old tapedeck radio. Fairly low end. It has no antenna
posts for connection of loop or other antenna. I was wondering...
could I set up a line antenna in my apartment, and connect the
lead/drop line to the windings inside the radio? The windings around
the ferrite rod? Or even the ferrite rod itself if that would help?

I'm guessing that might simply lower/affect the existing reception
ability of the ferrite rod & windings. Constructive comments? Thanks.
