Default improve fm reception on transistor radio


If you can run a wire to a water pipe or electrical ground and over to
'close proximity' to your radio, it will probably increase reception.
It did for my little transistor radio when I was a kid (a few years back).

I bought this old-fashioned style radio from LL Bean to listen to a
Prairie Home Companion on.

It is broadcast locally on PBS radio, but I am in an apartment and am
not getting strong reception. Beyond moving the radio (which I have
tried to several locations) is there anything else I can do to improve
it?

Thanks, Scott
