   Get a similar or the same car radio from a junk yard.  Get a car   
   antenna too.  Buy a 12v power supply.  Radio shack used to have them   
   and likely still does.  CB guys used to use them to power a auto CB   
   radio in the house.  Anyhow, hook the car radio to the power supply,   
   put that antenna on the roof, and enough wire to feed the antenna to   
   the radio and you should get the station.  when you mount the antenna   
   on the roof, try to get a ground plane. If you have a metal roof, you   
   have a ground plane. Otherwise a metal rain gutter may work.  If   
   nothing else, run several 6 ft. or longer wires from the base of the   
   antenna in different directions. (like a big X with the antenna in the   
   middle). Fasten these wires to something, but dont nail into your   
   roof.  Fasten to a chimney, vent stack, rain gutter hangers, etc.
