Hey Doghouse,
I know you can just unscrew the tall antenna from the base. I do it and it doesn't affect my radio reception in the city. Taking off the base is another matter.

The base twists off also. Remove the antenna and then twist the base and pull it off. The metal base that the antenna screws into is under the black plastic base.
