Default Radio Antennae

I have a clock radio that uses the electrical plug as the antennae.
However, the reception in my bedroom is really bad during the summer
months, but gets somewhat better in the winter months.

Anyway, is there some type of connector plug that I can plug the radio
in to get better reception?

Any help appreciated,
Chris


AM or FM, what frequency? Is there a connection on it for the
antenna? Two or three wire cord?

(some line cord antennas are a piece of steel crimped on the
insulation of the power cord and attach to a screw on the back of the
radio - you remove that and add a wire or dipole antenna to the screw)

Are you able to have an external antenna where you live? Is it only
some distant stations that give you problems?
