[Shop-talk] Antennae

    I have an FM radio in my garage, with a simple wire antenna.  I used to 
get fine reception, until I insulated the ceiling with those 
styrofoam-like boards with one side of metallic film.  Since I put those 
up, I can barely get one station.

    I do have an old TV antenna on the roof, however, that I never use ( 
satellite ) and never plan to use again.  Can I use this to improve my FM 
reception?  Is it as easy as extending the current wire antenna up to the 
roof antenna?

    Thanks.
