Well, you're right that the group's dedicated to ham radio-type antennas
but I'll still give a try. Don't know how many floors up to your roof but,
at 43 plus floors, you'd get awesome reception I suspect if you just put a
real antenna on the roof and ran the line down to your office. You might
not even need a fancy one like winegard makes or any other beam antenna
readily available at Radio Shack. Take a look at 1) where the TV station is
that you're looking for and 2) how far away it is. Now, compare that to how
acceptable the reception is with your rabbit ears is. Take a look at this
website.

They make some good omnidirectional antennas for your application with a
preamplifier. That might do the trick. Make sure you do your own research
based on your particulars that I'm not aware of. Better yet, give 'em a
call. They're experts on this one.

This is probably not the right group for this question...but you guys
are the experts on antennas so I thought I would throw my question out
there...
I am in an office building (43rd floor) and I was wondering some tips
on getting television reception to come in clearer? I have a basic
bunny ears antenna but the picture is very fuzzy and fades...this is
almost certainly because of the building. Is there anything I can do
to make the picture come in clearer?
Thanks,
Nickolas
