Replacement whips come in a VARIETY of sizes (whip diameter a connection
point) and well as lengths. The more popular whip sizes:

0.100 inch (2.5 mm)
0.072 inch (1.8 mm)
0.046 inch (1.2 mm)

If you need something "right now" you can use brass rod - available through
your local welding shop / welding supply store OR a well equipped hobby shop
for model trains, RC planes and cars.

PCTel, here in Chicago, purchase Antenna Specialists. They sell a number of
replacement whips ....
