Smile Antenna Key - muffler bearing and blinker fluid

I’ve had my 83 911SC for a few years now and in an effort to convince the wife that all the time and money spent on my impractical hobby are truly worth it, I volunteered my ride for a trip to the beach here in Oregon. She enjoyed the removable targa top, and our 6 year old treated it like a 3 hour roller-coaster ride.

On our way there was a request to listen to the radio.
An interesting proposition I thought, I have never actually turned on the radio in the five years I’ve owned this car. So what the heck, I turned it on, but there was no reception due to the antenna not being extended. I then pulled over and went to pull out said antenna, only to find it counter sunk.

A few minutes later the pocket knife had pulled it up enough to get it into position, but this left me with a lingering question, how are you suppose to extend it?. .
Well, according to my handy owner’s manual (read while the wife went through yet another trinket shop), I’m to use the Antenna Key, which of course I don’t have, obviously. So when the wife gets back and asks “So did you figure it out?”. My answer of “Yeah, I need an antenna key” which was met with a certain level of skepticism normally reserved for muffler bearing and blinker fluid jokes.

So..Anybody know what an antenna key looks like for a 1983 911SC?
If you have one could you please post a picture, so I don’t end up buying something really silly off the internets.

Thanks for all your help :-)
