RANT_MODE:ON
That expression "static" really gets on my nerves.
It is usd by people who are not knowledgable about these things to describe any interference to radio reception.
Real "static" is caused by static electricity in the air (the stuff which makes lightning), not by the myriad of other things which create electro-magnetic crap!

MikeMLs suggestion of turning off all the other electrical stuff in the house to try and identify the cause of interference is a good one.
As is the suggestion of seeing how the station is received by a car radio, and if the source of interference is local to your house or coming from somewhere else.
Let us assume that your problem is not high levels of interference, but weak signal from your desired station.
I assume that you are trying to listen with a typical portable radio.
Here is a trick which has worked for me when I wanted to listen to UK radio stations when I was on holiday in Iceland.
Get a long length of wire (try 5 metres for a start).
Lay it out on the ground.
Wind one end of the wire around the radio, four of five times.
Connect the stub end which you have just wound around the radio to some point which is earthed.
You will now have a big increase in received signal strength. Moving the long trailing end of the wire around may improve the signal.
Why does this work?
You are effectively link coupling an external antenna to the ferrite rod antenna (loopstick, in USA ?) which is built into the radio.
