Have been looking but could find any lengths of WW2 American Tank antenna's
Or Color I figure Black with the Ceramic resistor.
I figure about 9 feet or so.
Thanks for replies.

Hey Jeff
This has come up from time to time. I'm certain someone will have the exact measurements, but in the meantime there were I think 3 screw-in lengths of 3ft each, so you'd be on the mark. A rule of thumb for my shermans would be to have the antenna the height of the tank again from ground level to turret top.

Thanks Brad.
I was wondering if they had changed in all those years as Radios are more " Modern " now and I don't think they use crystals and such anymore.
But could be wrong.
