Ah, now I recognize it!The rajah's had me fooled.Did the Navy use an insulated antenna lead-in?It seems sloppy to me to use a wire that would wobble around the plastic cap of the rajah.And I wonder how often the wire would fall out from the cap loosening up from vibration?

It was later called the CU-25/ART-13, Jay - the "Mama Bear" in my 
peculiar parlance.   :-)    Dunno what the Navy number is - few docs 
left here at this house now.

Note all the transmitting peripherals have been equipped with spark plug 
tips to use the Rajahs!  Dave S. might need a transfusion after wiring 
all that...heh, heh...  More seriously, they are deadly sharp and I have 
felt their bite more than once.  Lucky I'm not on a blood thinner. <g>
