That's probably a better idea. Those would definitely be easier to find, at least...

I could ask my brother if his Sirius Sat mast would also pick up FM for when he is feeling nostalgic, if you'd like.

:idea:

Not sure how your speaker wiring is on yours, but my iPod Nano 6G uses whatever wiring it is plugged into as an antenna.

I know I've seen a guy hook one of these up before, perhaps on the Samba website with the ash tray.

Me, I've got to start plugging these holes before winter comes...

Confirmation back from him-
antenna on his addon satellite radio did NOT receive FM. Sorry guys, here I thought we had brainstormed a slam-dunk.
