There is no antenna component that we would today call an NVIS radiator.  So I conclude there never was an NVIS antenna for the BC-654 and the AS-2259 is, to the best of my recollection, a Vietnam-era radiator, used extensively by LLRP chaps.
Gene,

With all due respect.  If this won't radiate a good signal in a vertical 
direction, I'll eat my hat.



 From page 29 of the SCR-284/BC-654 TM.

Oh, and ask Joe Munson what they used for an antenna on the PRC-74's in 
Laos.
