FM antenna made simple

I have a Rotel RX-975 receiver that cuts in and out when listening to local FM stations in Hartford. I am using the supplied "T" wire antenna simply taped to the wall behind the receiver. How can I improve my reception without getting too complex ? i.e without getting up on the roof or climbing the chimney to install a rotating antenna.

My Terk FM-Pro works great, and in NYC that says a lot.
Costs around $100-150, and can be hidden quite well despite its size. (about 4' long and 5" wide). Hats off to Sean for taking so much time to respond in great detail.

Swampwalker,
I might be mistaken, but I had a "stick" from Radio Shack, and it was rather lousy. The Terk is very good. Of course we may be thinking of two different antennae, but I don't think so.
