Perhaps they no longer carry such items, but Radio Shack used to have a line of
telescoping antenna replacements. You might look for an old copy of their
printed catalog and see if yours is listed. Since they converted from printed
catalogs to the web-based catalog, it is hard to find data.

Radio Shack still has three. One will almost work but its collapsed
length would stick out past the edge of the case. Not ideal but I
suspect that's what I'll end up going with.

Also try Digi-Key. I think that is where I saw an extensive listing of
antennas.

Yup, but none of the good ol' telescoping rod style.

Have you looked for an exact replacement from the manufacturer? They might
have a US presence with an 800 number, where you can order replacement parts.

Good idea -- they might, although it's a 20-year old radio (ICF-2001).

Kind of surprised that there's not an "Antennas'R'Us" somewhere on the
internet. Maybe an idea for an entrepreneur...
