Thanks for all responses on the antenna element. Consensus shows to be a Hy-Gain from the late 60's. Other tests reveal that it is a 150- 160 MHz element but has below 1.5:1 VSWR all the way down to 145 MHz. Tests done with a return loss bridge and IFR-1200 with tracking generator.
Looks like since the impedance of these elements are 100 ohms, one could take even 1/2 wavelengths of coax (compensated with velocity factor) then run two of these into a "T" connector then have 50 ohms and make an antenna similar to a DB-222.
