I don't think you are at all. The best tuner in the world will always benefit from a better antenna, one which is capable of de-tuning multipath.
That being said, get yourself the rabbit ears ($9 on Amazon) and you'll have an adjustable (easier than a dipole on a stick, I would say) antenna to use when you finally score a tuner. You can always upgrade the antenna at your leisure.
And unless money is very tight, you should be able to find some very good tuners for very little money. I found a Yamaha T-80 tuner for $35. While not my best sounding tuner, it's got great RF performance, and the ability to fine tune stations. If that's not enough for you, it's great for breaking in (if you believe in such things) interconnects and tone-arm wire!
Good luck.
