Interesting picture. New to me is what appears to be an antenna wire attached to the tip of the horizontal stab. I've not seen this on 109s before. Anybody?
Having looked through the books, it looks like the radio aerial wire was split three ways to go to each hori stab and the fin, although I've not seen it in pictures of Emils before. There is a series of pictures of the very first Bf 109B-1s released to service, some of them of a line up of these on the ground and although the pictures are not overly clear, the aerials can be discerned because of the small conical fairings. There are a few in flight of the same aircraft and the split aerial can be seen. Take a close look at these pictures scavenged from the net:

According to one book I have, the Bf 109B was fitted with the short range single-waveband FuG 7 radio, although wiki states it was first fitted in the Bf 109C.

Yes, from what I remember, from a book somewhere at some time long ago, the three wires were for the earlier, short wave radio.
When the later Medium Wave / HF radios were introduced, the single wire was used, from mast to fin top.
