Hello Oscar,

We may need help from someone who has worked with an 89B but I believe the antenna connection is the clip on the corner of the chassis. You are connecting the antenna to the cap of the oscillator tube which is the signal input from the 44 rf amplifier tube, thereby bypassing this stage. So, the radio will still tune in stations but won't be as selective. The other clip is a ground connection to be attached to an earth ground.
