There used to be radio antennas that plugged into the wall outlets.
They had a three pronged connector, but only one side was actually
electrically connected, the other prongs were plastic. I am not sure
what they did to isolate the electrical from the radio, but the
antenna used the house wiring for an antenna extension.

This may be what he is looking for, something that coupled with the
electrical wires for a longer antenna.
