ken,
The item was MAROC(Marshalls Orange Crop) , a step up from hand held RWR kit.
Wow. Orange Blossom or Orange Crop, either way that's an awfully big RWR antenna. And it started out on Lynx helos??!! That seems like an awfully large antenna for such a small helo.

I think its interesting that they hung the antenna below the wingtip rather than embedding it in the wingtip similar to the S-3/CP-140 ESM antenna installation. Maybe hanging it below makes it easier to mod and de-mod.
