"I just made one for the same radio, how I make mine is I apply a masking tape loop where the original antenna was then I remove the tape carefull not to rip or stretch it then I pull it tight and wind magnet wire around the outside/adhesive side then I coat it with thin clear epoxy and when it dries I remove the tape and glue it in. Because the tape was the entire length of the inside back the new antenna fits perfect."

How many turns do you do with that? When you apply the epoxy it doesn't crack or break when you make the antenna into the shape of the radio?
