Whip antennas are notorious for getting bent up or breaking or getting

have many radios that have AM band plus some other bands too and every
one of them that have AM band,they all have a built in ferrite core
antenna.Sometimes,it might not be conveniet to pull up those E1 antennas
to use the AM band,for instance sitting in a cubbyhole or a small
space.It just seems to me that there is something missing from E1
radios.

What a cool visual. Coohoo drinking beer on the sofa with his hound
dog and his WebTV wireless keyboard getting all tangled up with a
chrome plated, bent all to ****, telescoping whip antenna.
Priceless...

It was even funnier the first three times he did it. That's why he now
only buys pre-broken radios from the Goodwill Store.
