The shorted distance is prolly caused by shorting out the antenna wire to ground or something. There's not alot of room for error in there. A simple re-solder won't cut the mustard.
The key is to have the ability to desolder and full remove the old ripped wire strands out. You should see a silver pad with a hole going through the board when finished. Then you stripped a little of the wire off, insert, and solder. A little flux remover cleanes off all the gunk and a shot of acrlic coating on all the boards protects against the elements. (Acrylic coating is not done standard).
