Antenna amplifier
Here is a simple antenna amplifier.
I would suspect the problem is one of signal to noise so you may not see much improvement, but who knows?
You might be able to get some improvement by bypassing the brushes on the motor to reduce the noise side of the equation. Try a .01 ceramic cap from each motor lead to the motor case and one across the motor leads.
Here is the rest of the info on the amplifier.
Use around 470uH coil for L1 if you use for AM frequency (700kHz-1.5MHz) and use around 20uH for SW or FM receiver. For short wave performance, using this antenna booster, you’ll get a strong signal as we get from a 20-30 feet antenna, with only a standard 18? telescopic antenna and this booster circuit. The power supply should be bypassed by a 47nF capacitor to ground, at a point that should be chosen as close as possible to L1.
