Subject:  radio reception

here is a recent phenomenon. my stock am radio with exact repro antenna had 
been playing loud and clear. until today. the volume was poor, and i notice 
that if i hold the antenna while standing on the ground, i get full volume. 
when i let go of the antenna, poor volume. this is the mast of the antenna, 
not the base. this does not occur if i am sitting in the passenger seat 
holding the mast. i know something is grounding, but i took everything apart 
and even tried other antenna cable that i had on hand to no avail. i would 
be interested to hear of solutions, is there some sort of extra ground wire 
i can run? also, has anyone used one of those hidden antenna that i see 
offered on ebay? thanks, jim
