Thanks Steven , The 251st IJN Squadron's Zero had removed the radio telephones, so the wooden antenna pole was also cut off as it would only create air resistance.
They were conducting single-plane air combat instead of formation air combat at the time. They also didn't use radio communication with their bases, as they took routes around the islands of the Solomon Islands or coral reef.
