Question How can I add an external antenna/antenna jack to radio w/internal antenna?

I've got a Sony under-counter (kitchen) clock stereo/CD here at work and some days I just can't get decent reception with it and other days it's great, both AM and FM. I've got Sirius and listen to that through the radio's Audio In jack but some days I like to listen to terrestrial radio.

I know squat about electronics but I do know how to use a soldering gun and am not afraid to tear into it. I'd prefer to install a jack so that it's easy to disconnect the antenna and move it if I want it somewhere else in the building that I might be working.

Is it as simple as soldering a connection to where the internal antenna is? I'd imagine Radio shack must sell something I could use.

Looking for suggestions. Thanks!
