Stereo Antenna

I have a stereo that just has a wire for the antenna. It only gets a few stations and a few more with me standing on my head holding the wire with my feet. Any recommendations for a small hidden antenna or maybe a booster.

PS This is for my golf cart my boat stereo works fine.

Have you tried any other parts of your body?
 
Why bother with old technology? A simple WiFi speaker and your music from your cell phone. Problem solved.:bounce:

I had that. It was a pain to jump on set it up and go with that set up. The stereo does that too automatically which is nice and is what I use mostly. The wife prefers to listen to the radio with all the latest crap music. I'm on the 80's rock hit list right now with the pandora.
 
The only booster antennas I've seen are 12v powered. You can pick them up at most auto parts stores that sell "tuner" type parts. +/- hookup and you're good to go. I had one in a blazer that I shaved the antenna hole, and it worked awesome.

Thanks. I have a reducer to run all my 12v stuff so that may work.
