Hi Harbin,

If we are to believe it has one.....

Inverted F is the best one I could imagine being possible from this
cage.

The ones on the front fenders are cut up rabbit ears. I'm not
sure about the one on top, however it may be some kind of reflector.

Hi Harbin

Perhaps it is an inverted lawnchair antenna. It might be one of those
mobile lawnchairs that the Israelis are trying to eliminate from Lebanon.

Howdy Irv:
Nope, not a reflector. I have seen these on several types
of German armor, and it seems that this is the way it is used.
I'm trying to understand how this type of antenna works, and
if it would scale down to VHF. It is mostly seen on German
armored scout cars, such as the link below.:

It is a loop used for NIVS mode of comunication.:

Hi Harbin,

On closer research, it is a loop antenna suited for MF to low HF (as
high as 40M).

This is from an interesting article in how the US Army has discovered
it needs HF comm gear to do the job satellites and VHF repeaters were
suppose to do:

Hi Richard:
I happened to trip across this website also, and it is just what I was
looking for.
Thanks for the response Richard.
