Summary: 

I bought a Uniden 2021 a couple months ago and have been relatively happy
with it.  Strong stations like BBC, HCJB, etc. I pull in with no problem 
and I have listened to Kol Israel's programs regularly though the reception
on that has been considerably weaker.  I have not been able to pull in Israel's
Home service at all.  The question I have is what things I could do to make
reception better.  I now have a piece of Radio Shack 18 gauge copper wire 
strung uup along the side of our apartment building.  Should I try to put
an antenna on the roof of our two story building, an active antenna, add a
preamplifier or something like the Grove minituner?  What would be most
helpful? And what brand of product?  Any other suggestions?
