I recently added a General Electric World Monitor P2900A shortwave
radio to my collection. Does anyone know anything about these radios?
Like, history, when they were produced and in what numbers,
performance, ect. I also would like some ideas on replacing the
missing left telescoping antenna; what would make a good replacement.I made a mistake; the broken antenna is the FM antenna on the right.
Does anyone have a close-up picture of this antenna? How does it work?
I understand that it's strange

IIRC -

Larger (Longer & Thicker) Shortwave Whip Antenna that
basically pulled-out Straight-Up and used for general
Omni-Directional {Distant} Sky-Wave Radio Signals.

Smaller (Shorter & Thinner) FM Whip Antenna that
had a rotating Ball Mount and could be 'positioned'
for best local individual FM Radio Station reception.


hope this helps ~ RHF
