Can anyone tell me the height of the British Wireless No. 19 radio set aerial for a M3 Grant?

The standard antenna sections for the number 19 set were four (4) foot sections making up a total length of sixteen (16) feet.

Almost all tanks used eight (8) feet or two sections and that would include the M3. Grant.

I hope that helps.

The four-foot lengths were for the A set though (conical-looking rubber base). The B set used a shorter (20") antenna, due to the different wavelength. Its base is a short stalk, sometimes with an inverted conical guard of metal strip.
