<VV> corvair content - (sort of)

[judynrandy at comcast.net]

Question:  Does anyone have any suggestions for an antenna for my garage, where I do all my corvair work?  All I have on my stereo is a couple of pieces of wire.  When the ballast was hosed in one of my shoplights, it worked that way for the most part.  But now that I've had a chance to fix the ballast, I can't get any radio stations worth a flip.  It's weird.  Some days if the garage door is up, I get good reception.  Others, not so much.  I have often theorized that If I had a "real" antenna, then I should be able to get some stations.  But where to look for one.  I tried radio shack and the clerk looked at me like I was on cheap drugs or something.  "Like, what's an antenna?"  It IS a metal garage.  Thoughts, opinions, and ideas welcome.  Thanx
