Hook it to the insulated antenna post after stripping back about an inch if insulation. Do not hook anything to the ground post. Lay the wire on the floor or better yet, hang it vertically if possible.

Report back. This should be good enough without a ground.

Don't mean to be stupid but my hubby will probably be the one hooking it up, how do we know which is the insulated antenna post on the radio and which is the ground antenna post?
