Default Small transmitter antenna

OK, so I have one of these to repair, which is missing the "tail" antenna on
the transmitter.

Now I know very little about RF, antennae etc.
I can't get a replacement antenna for this, so how feasible would it be to
make one?

I assume this will be a fine coil of wire covered in rubber, e.g. a tiny
rubber ducky?

Or could you just attach a long wire and roll/pack it up and attach the blob
to the guitar/guitarist?




It would help to know the frequency range this operates on. Looks to be
about 6 inches of wire. If it is operating close to 450 MHz, then about
6 inches of wire is all that is needed. Measure the antenna on the
receiver and use a piece of wire that long.
