   Antenna longer for C. Crane Witness how?

   Hi,   
      
   I have a C. Crane Witness radio. It came with a short wire FM antenna   
   that plugs into the headphone jack. It doesn't receive that well, and I   
   was wondering how to get a longer one. I've looked online and can't   
   find one. The antenna has a little   
   half length mini plug that doesn't cut the speakers out when you plug it in.   
   I want to use this radio because it has a record feature.   
      
   I was considering cutting off the end of the original antenna and splicing   
   on another wire. I'm not sure what type of wire to use though.   
   Can I use an old pair of ear bud wires? Does it have to be a special   
   type of wire for an antenna?   
      
   Thanks,
