To check continuity of the wire and antenna all you have to do is get a
lead of the multi9meter on each end of the wire (here being wire and
antenna) and check OHMS. Use a lower setting like 1 OHM range or so. A
break somewhere will give you an OPEN and you will have an overload or
infinity symbol on the screen of the multimeter. A continuous line will
show almost 0 resistence. If the resistance is anything over half an
ohm there is a problem somewhere (bad contacts or corrosion). You can
run the checks over different sections to troubleshoot down to the bad
part if there is one. I would think that it is fine though.
