I am looking for information on the special duty Halifax avionics setup and the associated antenna array.

I am particularly interested in the role of an odd whip antenna installed just below the navigator's stand, which can be seen on the images from the links below.

Was it connected to a VHF AM com radio, which replaced the obsolete TR9F high frequency com radio?
 
Some sources suggested that the whip antenna on WW II bombers could have been a part of the Gee navigation system.
