You should cut off someone's hand and tape it to the radio.

Good idea. Hey, totally unrelated, but do you wanna come over and play with this kickass butcher knife I got the other day?

When you bring your hand closer to the radio, you get close to the internal antenna. You're actually changing the capacitance of the antenna.

Capacitors are basically just two conductive surfaces really close together, one positive, one negative. Your hand is acting as the negative conductive surface. The reason the piece of metal didn't change it much is because it's not as grounded as your body.

This might work... I'm guessing here:
Get a piece of wire. Connect it to a grounded piece of metal (like a metal radiator pipe or the center screw (holds the cover plate on) on an electrical outlet). Connect the other end to a 12" x 12" piece of aluminum foil laid under the crappy radio. That's called a ground plane. Should improve reception.

If you try that, let me know if it works.

Oowwww.

Damn, thats a really good idea. Would the negative hole in a power strip work, too? If so, I can do that tonight.

Yes, that would work too.

Do it soon, so I can go to sleep knowing the results. Otherwise, I'll lay awake all night.

Cool... I was hoping it'd work. I'll have to remember that for next time I run into that problem.
