I've always wondered why.

The first two people were right. Our bodies are conductive, and they act like an antenna, so when we get close to a radio antenna, we may convey (the technical word is ‘couple’) more signal to the radio. This used to be quite frustrating before cable tv, when you had to adjust the tv antenna, then step back and see how much worse it got. You would have to fiddle back and forth to get the kind of picture quality you wanted.

Because your body acts as a sort of antenna, and brings the signal in stronger. If you stand a couple feet away and put your hand on it, it will be even better.
