As I understand it, there is no provision for any additional antenna, the Walkman was designed (?) as you have discovered to use the earphone cord as the antenna. I do not find it particularly efficient except in areas of high signal strength, and even then the way you sit or walk can affect the reception. Sorry if this does not really answer your query, but I think you will find, that (like me) you've been caught. I too would like to know if anyone has foung a solution to this problem.
