It's definitely a commercial antenna.  I am beginning to take notice 
of commercial towers built in the 60's and 70's and seeing more of 
these antennas.  Some oil companies and HVAC places are still using 
them in spite of their rotten phasing harness...

Just to clear it up if there was any doubt..  the element in my photo 
at:

is just ONE of FOUR elements that were on a 22 foot tall mast pipe 
with a phasing harness.  The antenna when put together resembles a 
Decibel DB-224.  

Thanks for responses.
