Radio Reception At Work?!
Question: I work in an office building that gets virtually no radio reception, besides the fact that there are no “open windows” in the building, I am not even close to one if there were. I am using a small digital Sony desktop radio, I can get local stations like K-ROQ (106.7) and Free FM (97.1) but JUST BARLEY. There is SO much static that it’s hard to enjoy the morning radio chatter that I just end up turning it off after a while and listening to some music on my IPOD. Since I work a desk job working mainly with Contracts it’s easy for me to sit here and listen to music (I have to or I go crazy). But I LOVE my morning radio and recently my company has decided that too much internet radio has slowed down our network therefore they had no other choice but to block EVERY site that even had the word radio in it.
So I’m stuck here folks! I have a radio adapter/remote for my Ipod but it’s no good in here for the most part. I can get like one local station and a few Korean stations (which

For FM radio, increase the size of the antenna, assuming your radio has some little thng sticking up that resembles an antenna or terminals on the back. Add some wire to increase the length. For AM radio try changing the orientation of the radio. You get what you pay for so try using a better radio.
if you have a pc or laptop in your office and you have an internet connection, you can listen to a streaming broadcast on the web. many radio stations have this feature, and it's great for folks who work in office bldgs.
for example, try http://www.wcbs880.com/ and click on "listen live."
