Best indoors antenna for AM reception

65.3.162.36

I have a Marantz 2216B receiver set up in my office to tune in some AM stations while I am working. I am located on the tenth floor of a building downtown. The Marantz's ferrite antenna works so-so; one problem being that I can't extend it out all the way out from the receiver because the shelf is not wide enough in back of the unit. The receiver picks up some noise and grunge along with the AM signal. Is there an antenna that would work better. The unit has a separate terminal to connect an external AM antenna.
