Hi and Welcome to the Phourm!!
I think not. The best antenna is outdoors, and as long and high as you can get it.
Don't know what your situation is but an indoor loop works pretty good too.
Is your set working up to it's full potential? Has it been properly serviced and aligned?
I'm listening to a 370 now (chairside model of the 70) Jack Benny is coming in loud and clear from WNAR

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
