>The antenna is called Rahmenantenne Frame antenna when its mounted on
>the APC and its also called a Dachantenne Roof antenna when its on
>top of a Deuce-type (6x6) communication van. The difference between these
>two is that the frame antenna stands off higher from the metal body of the
>APC and its close to the roof of the van. The HF transmitter used with
>these antennas is the R-130M 40W CW/AM/SSB transceiver, covering from 1.5
>MHz to 10.99MHz.
>When the frame or roof antennas are used, the transceiver output is
>routed to a special antenna tuner which provides a balanced output as these
>antennas require.
>I dont know whether these antennas are the same as the WW2 vintage ones,
>but they certainly look a lot like those.
>I can ask Guenther for more info on them.
There are some articles in English on Russian roof antennas here:
