Many of the receivers have a built in antenna. Suppose you could put a few winds around that built in antenna and string a wire out of the receiver.

This one's a rather expensive Yamaha and does not have a built-in antenna.
I'm not questioning what you may gave paid for it. I paid big bucks for my Sony AM/FM theater sound for my TV. FM is pretty good. Theater sound is great. The AM radio is junk. Won't pick up a station 30 miles away. I wrapped some turs around the internal antenna and strung a wire out across the yard. It works but selectivity is bad also. JMHO. I also like to listen to AM once in a while. Buy an all band AM radio with some good sensitivity and selectivity. You will be much happier. In fact it will open up your world of not only local AM but some short wave above the broadcast band. You will be amazed what is out there.
