So I can't get my favorite radio station in my room and I want to try to make a cheap DIY antenna to try to get the signal. Anyone have any idea how to do this or know of any guides? Help = karma...

just a quick idea, do you have any speaker wire lying around if you do...

Splice the ends and connect about 3 more feet to what you have, and see if that does any better
