radio reception ?
Does anyone have any tips on how to improve fm radio reception? I can only get in a couple stations at work, and its driving me nuts. I work in a large steel building, I think that is my problem. Anyone know anything about amplified antennas? Radioshack has one for like $30 but I don't know if it'd help or not. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

You don't say what type of antenna is on that radio. Is it a pull up type, a wire hanging out the back, or a terminal on the back to hook a external antenna to. Whichever it is you could try running a wire from the antenna and touch it to the metal of the building or stick it in the round ground hole of a wall socket or try and find one of those little gizmos you plug in the wall and hook a tv antenna wire to that uses the house wiring as a antenna. If none of that works in that steel building, then get a tape or cd player.
