What does a wire antenna look like for a Torn.Fu.b1

[Yuri D.]

The Torn.Fu.b1 has a metal spool as part of its accessories. Is that spool for the counterpoise or a wire antenna? What should that cable look like?

So that's the counterpoise. What is the general structure of it? Looks like there are two steckers, 3 metal attachment loops and a carabiner. Nice original wire by the way.

No, this is the antenna wire, the counterpoise is a four wire affair. Actually the antenna wire shown is from a Torn.Fu.a which was in two different length parts that could be plugged together to make a longer wire for the lower frequencies. The antenna manual shows the use of 7.5 and 15 meter antenna wires for the Torn.Fu.b1 so it seems to have been issued with similar two piece (2 x 7.5 meter) antenna wire.

This is the counterpoise wire (4 x 4,5 meter):

A bit like this:

How the antenna wire looks like when it's layd down - i see that from each metal ring spreads two wires?

The antenna wire is a bit too fragile, so I don't want to take it off it's spool. Basically the end of the wire is looped around a metal eyelet, one end of the wire is terminated by a male, on the other end by a female plug. At the female end the looped back wire is perhaps 10 cm, on the male end abut 30 cm.
