A simple piece of coat hanger wire, cut and straightened to 18 1/4" and just jammed next to the MS16A - and voila! It goes from marginal performance to -- fine!  I'm getting all the signals now!.

Way cool guys!
Thanks for the link!

Amazing what a short piece of wire can do. 
Thanks for the report as I am sure it will help others.
