The antenna is simply what's called a "sleeved dipole". You can get the same effect by peeling back the outer metal braid of the antenna wire to the same length as the brass section was and pulling it back over the remainder of the cable. Trim the (now much longer) inner to the length that was previously poking out and put heatshrink over the whole lot -- that should work. I can do a diagram if that's not clear.
