Your LHS will have the proper wire. Don't splice, but solder it to the board. I hope you're good at soldering. Get it TOO hot, and you can do some damage.

I have spliced antenna wires back together; it works, but not nearly as well as replacing the antenna altogether. You lose a lot of range, not to mention run the risk of interference, by splicing.
