What is the purpose of the wire (not shown in illustration) that runs from the mast just in front of the cockpit to the top front of the vertical stabilizer?

A few years back I worked the flight line. Had a ball with incoming and outgoing air traffic. Never a dull moment.
Hollar if you're coming in.
Did you see this?
Nope but thanks. Always interested in old planes. That wire I understand is a long wave radio antenna. Or it could be part of the ADF. Lots of GA planes have the same sort of antenna.
Lots of others seem to have the same thoughts! ; )
