Modify the radio so coax can be attached, and feed it from the good
antenna outside (or even just positioned well inside).

Or, buy a radio that already has an external antenna jack.


Now that would be cheating. Actually the one I bought does have one, but
the point was convenience, allowing local tuning as usual but with no
unwanted wires trailing around as I carry a radio between rooms while
working.

If it were practical I imagine we'd all be doing it, I just wondered if there
might be soem compromise I can use, but likely not one that isn't already
standard practise.
