Need Help IDing B-17 Antenna

[K3MSB]

Hello

In the attached photo there's a strange looking antenna on the top of the aircraft where the dorsal fin starts. Might any of you be able to identify this antenna? Thank you!

Not sure which radio it is for, but it's common on B-17F's.

Looks like the standard AN104 antenna. The part going off on an angle is the shadow of the leading edge of the right horizontal stabilizer.
