Abstract
A trailing wire antenna connector comprising: a spool; a trailing line and a conductive socket. The trailing line is configured to be wound around the spool and consists of a non-conductive line segment joined to a conductive wire segment via a conductive plug. The non-conductive line segment is connected to the spool. The conductive socket is configured to be mounted to a fuselage so as to be electrically insulated from the fuselage and electrically connected to a feed line of an RF receiver. The conductive socket has an opening through which the conductive wire segment may pass but that is too small for the conductive plug to pass such that when the conductive plug comes into contact with the conductive socket the conductive wire segment is electrically connected to the feed line.
