Question

What would you do to make radio better in your area?

Answer 1

Make sure it is outdoors, roof mounted, or in the attic.
Most roof antennas will give you radio reception similar to a car radio, or often better.
Try repurposing a TV antenna you already have; use an FM splitter to use it on your radio. ...
Consider an omnidirectional radio antenna.

Answer 2

Make sure you can get really good connection by going outside and finding where the connection is really good. Or even inside.
