Default TWEAK !!! There goes the whip antenna...

I dont believe I did it. I broke the whip antenna on my new 7600gr. I had
it set up with the sleep timer on when I went to bed. The whip was extended
and I had the external antenna clipped on to it. The external wire was
running across the room. I woke up later in the evening and decided to get a
drink of water. I forgot I had the antenna wire going across the room.
Yep... I walked right into it. The radio came flying off the shelf I had it
on, and when I turned the light on, the whip antenna was bent at a 90 degree
angle.. LOL... TWEAK !!!!!!!!

I'm gonna call Sony parts and see about getting a replacement. I bet the
antenna cost $100.00 :-)

I still dont believe I did it... TWEEEEEEEAK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
