There was lots of inter-compartment cabling. Coax cables had special 
fittings to enter/exit a compartment. Watertight, and in the event of a coax 
seal failure, there was what looked like a spigot, but was actually a shear 
which cut the coax off and sealed the opening.  The Ling, in addtion to 
having a radio in the Officers wardroom (part of the forward battery 
compartment), there was also the crew morale receiver, an RBO, in the crew 
mess, which was part of the after battery compartment. Also, there were the 
VHF antennas, which were coax-fed. All through special fittings.

The main HF antennas came into the radio room, which was part of the control 
room compartment, through a large diameter 8 ft tall watertight tube inside 
the sail, with big insulators for the antenna wires coming in, and antenna 
connections going into the radio room.

If the receiver was not in the compartment with the radio room, how did it
get an antenna?  I'm sure they didn't poke a hole in the hull.  It's not
impossible to get an antenna feed from the radio room, so what was done?

Yes, that would have been likely the receiver I saw, it was definitely of
that era. But I recall it sitting
elsewhere, not in the radio room.
Was the S-20 on the FCC's 'Safe Receivers List' ?  I hope!
