Atlas C40-8 CSX antennas early 1990's

  by zablocki22
 
I picked up the two numbers for CSX and have been working on the modifications for the units since Atlas used the UP model for CSX.

This includes front/rear handrails, MU cable (use Details West MU220), removing the hump on top of the nose, horn, and removing the rear/ top sandfiller.

The question is about the antennas? I am using the Withers book on C40-8's as a reference and I know that two antennas are used. The first looks like a whip antenna but I cannot tell what the second one is???? Is it a wide cone type???

Thanks for any answers...
