I have an aero. search and rescue beacon transceiver from a Govt.
surplus store.
When I connect the homemade(bike spoke) ant. to the casing(at the same
time it is connected to the proper ant.input site) it changes to
receiving a different air to ground conversation,than if I don't
connect it to the casing.I presume it must be changing the frequency of
transmission received.
Why/how does this occur?.
Thanks.

What you have could be a downed airman distress beacon/transmitter. If
so it will be transmitting on 243.0Mhz. This is a government frequency.
Be very careful with this device. If it is an ELT and you turn it on you
may receive a visit from a Civil Air Patrol Ground Search and Rescue team.
