GDO range of operation

As I'm doing my last EOC on the way home, I'd like to coast all the way into the garage. If I'm lucky (and with a new battery), sometimes my GDO will activate far enough away that I can slip under the door as it's still going up. But it's too close for comfort.

Anyone know how to extend the range of a GDO?

Extending the antenna to the outside would probably help, but I think I'd have to use shielded coax. I don't want to change the effective length of the antenna wire, right?

I need about 350 feet of range.
