The B 375 was the airborne radio set use as the liaison radio. The antenna 
was a single wire that was on a reel and once the airplane was airborne, the 
antenna reel was turned on and the antenna was deployed.

The ground version, the BC 191, when mounted in a vehicle used the standard 
vehicle mounted antenna. If used in a building, such as an airport control 
tower, they may have used a long wire antenna but I suspect they simply used 
a vehicle mount stuck on the building.
