I have used this method before, and it works fine; but...
I would recommend, rather than a direct connection between *bare* wire and antenna, that the OP use *insulated* wire to wrap around the antenna, maybe 10 or 20 times in a coil...inductive signal rather than direct. While the signal strength might be diminished a *little*, this would prevent static during a poor connection, and discharges of same through the guts of the radio. One can always increase the number of wraps to increase the signal if necessary. This works well for me, and prevents damage. It may also help prevent overloading of the receiver on strong signals. For what it's worth, there are commercial antennas that come with little inductive coils that slip over the whip - but it's cheaper and completely easy to do by hand with a plain insulated wire.
