 To improve radio reception a little bit you can just press a thumb against the upper right corner and be a human antenna.
-The most simple real external antenna is a single-wire copper cable (others may also work). This can be pressed against an edge of the little black resistor on the top right corner.

-**WARNING: When soldering, don't connect the unpopulated large pads right below the antenna pads to the pads, this may result in blue smoke!** Best to check right after soldering, we did find a few cases of barely visible connection.
