Antennas
The length of the G antenna on the # 9 base is 24 inches.
The F antenna on a # 8 base consists of 3, 4 foot sections = 12 feet, or a V laporte adaptor could be used with 2 sections on each side of the V.
The WS-11 radio was used in the MK I carriers but was replaced by the WS-19.
The antenna base on the back of the early carrier would have been a # 2 or a # 3 base which could be replaced by the # 8 base.
My modest collection of antennas for my19 sets.
The diameter of the G rod is 1/4 inch.
The diamieter of the F rod is 3/8 at the base necked down to 27/64 to fit in the springmount.
