Hi Rod,
Might be the Cushcraft antenna or one by a number of
other people/companies selling that design (Hustler
for another) some years back. The part number for the
commercial four pole masts antenna is PF-156DA for
the 150 MHz version and PF-457DA for the UHF version.
The amateur version would probably have a part number
like PF-148DA, but that's just my assumption. Radioware
also made a dipole array for the vhf amateur band.
I have the diagrams and hook up information for that
antenna right here. If you're nice and say good things
behind my back I'll send you pdf file copy of the
instruction sheet. You need to email me direct with
your full email address and I'll get it right out
to you.
I have a number of those antennas here, but they are
the commercial PF-156DA versions. You'll see a number
of people bad-mouth these antennas but they're really
not bad for what they are. The weak spot is the
consumer quality (as in not commercial) rg-58 size
coax used to make up the harness.
I've had one of these antennas in continual service for
the last 15 plus years and it's still going strong
because I put the coax harness inside some well seal
insulated tubing.
Why not make up a clone coax harness and replace the
original with an RG-8 six coax. Yes, you can make up
a harness with Tee connectors if you like, but they
add more mechanical issues/hardware to the antenna,
which is something I try to minimize.
cheers,
skipp
ps: drop me a direct email if you want the instruction
sheet for the antenna.
