If you have wire lying around, then a loop is worth a try, but you can't just wrap the wire around any old object.... A 4 foot loop would need 8 turns and a 2 foot loop would need 18 turns. The bigger the loop, the bigger the gain.

P.S. I make antennas mostly for the Ghz range, but have made a simply FM antenna as well, for a Bose radio. If you do want to try a loop and want help, send me a PM and I'll do what I can to make it easier for you.
