Thanks so much for your reply. So this Airline radio either came with a dipole antenna, had one available as an accessory, or there were generic ones available. When using the dipole for the shortwave band (or possibly for either shortwave or broadcast?) the #1 and #2 leads were attached to it. Without the dipole the #1 lead is the long wire for both broadcast and shortwave and the #2 lead combines with the black ground wire to ground. Is this about right, or am I still messed up?
Thanks,
Alan
