Ihome Radio

my thing iHome radio reception uprooted all thumbs, but one, which should I do for the moment 'radio reception?

It's like a car antenna or a wire? If its rigid as a car, put a spring in a pen on the heel, then attach the old piece at the other end of spring. Wrap the pieces of the antenna with aluminum foil if the spring is greater than the antenna.
If it is a son, simply twist the news feed (the same length) on the heel.
