Oh bother. Recently, after a car wash, I pulled my telescopic aerial right
out - it was pretty corroded and unwilling to extend.

So, I pushed it back in. Well, it is clealy not as far back-in as it was,
because I can see that about 1cm of unweathered metal has not vanished into
the hole. Oddly, the radio still works with it in this state.

The question is this - will it go right in if I push hard enough? As a
secondary issue, would I be able to buy a new, uncorrodede, aerial, and push
that right in? Or am I just kidding myself? I suspect that I am.
