Attach a wire the length of the last segment. It might not be pretty, but
I'll bet it would work .

Maybe an aluminum knitting needle will work. It can fit down into the hollow
whip.

Tried it already with a short piece of whip antenna from my junk box. There's
something inside the last extension that prevents it from going in very far.

For what it is worth, the SR II antenna is 37 inches long and has 7
sections.

ELFA,

For 'very good' FM reception on a GE Superadio II use the FM Dipole
Antenna Terminals on the back righ side of the radio.
- - -
Form the simple 300 Ohm Twin Lead FM Dipole Antenna's 'arms' in a "V
or in a Half-Square |__. .__| to generally receive your best signal.

For the 'best' FM reception on a GE Superadio II use an Multi-Element
FM 'outside Omni or Yagi Antenna with 75 Ohm Coax Cable and a 75 300
Ohm Matching Transformer connected to the radio's FM Antenna Terminals
on the back righ side of the radio.


OBTW: The Whip Antenna on the GE Superadio II Measures 38.5 " Long.


FWIW: Most of the new car 'solid' (one piece) antennas measure 39".
