I might try that, thanks. Knocked the antenna tube off again today, but I noticed it immediately before any damage could occur.

Do you guys leave the excess antenna rolled up in the receiver box or do you dangle it out the end of the antenna tube? I have seen it both ways. I used to dangle it out of the antenna tube but recently I started capping it off at the top and rolling the remaining little bit up in the receiver box because I think it looks better. The other way may have actually been holding tension on the antenna tube and keeping it from pulling out. Just a thought.
