   It's possible that the bathroom has a big mirror (which is a conductor, so   
   shields/reflects RF) and that's part of why   
   reception is poor.     Move the radio to different spots, and if you find a   
   place that DOES have   
   reception, consider mounting a shelf there...   
      
   A fluorescent ballast can be a major noisemaker; have you tried switching   
   things off in the vicinity?
