Default Degen DE31 'portable' Shortwave "Active" Loop Antenna

DE1105 and DE31

At first, I took a wire and connected it to the negative battery
terminal and the clip... it did help remove alot of the excess noise...
but then I couldn't close the battery cover.

I have since purchased a solder mini-plug (a couple of dollars) from
radio shack (they didn't have the non-solder, which I would've
preferred). I take off the cover of the plug and clip the ground clip
from the antenna to the long connector of the plug. I then plug the
jack into the headphone jack, until I feel resistance, so that only the
ground is connected. (No soldering involved). I plan on eventually
snipping the bottom of the plug.

Again, as others have said, make sure that the amp/tuner is on the
correct side of the wire/antenna and fine tune it well.

My DE1105 radio has no antenna jack. When connecting the white clip of
the DE31 to the telescopic antenna of the DE1105, reception is improved
a bit, but only if the DE31 tuner is off. When turning on the DE31
tuner, reception degrades.

Where can I connect the black clip? I tried it on one of the battery
minus poles with some aluminium foil but it didn't help.
