Subject: [Boatanchors] B-17 antenna connection

OFF topic..  After reading the B-17 manual on radio equipment - I saw the following..
The liaison receiver on the radio operator’s table covers a frequency range from 1500-18,000 Kc. It uses the same antenna as the transmitter: the skin of the airplane. This is connected to a throw switch on the left side wall.
This switch can change over to the trailing antenna (also on left side wall). The trailing antenna is operated from a control box to the right of the change-over switch.
Can someone tell me how they used the Skin of the aircraft for an antenna when the negative side of the Battery, generators, equipment were all using the frame (skin) of the aircraft?  What am I missing?  Thanks..
