Help needed to Identify Antenna

[N4ASH]

Please help ID this antenna - maybe it is for 2 meters?
Pole mount - vertical single member 4.5 feet up; at 45 degrees down, 3 identical 4.5 feet members at 120 degrees apart.
Thanks!

Looks like a homemade ground plane made from Firestik antennas.

Definitely not home made - Professional connectors, member wrap, etc - and since I didn't make it and it was in my pile, I know I had to have bought it. It has to be 30 years old (in an old box) but I just can't remember what I bought it for - maybe 2 meters. Thanks.

LOL, you bought it but you're asking the forum what it is? That's pretty funny actually, it sounds like signs of old age are creeping in.

Unless you have an antenna analyzer or find some model number on the antennas there's only one way to find out what band it's for. But they look like helically wound CB antennas.

1/4 wave 6m ground plane?

 

[Captain Kilowatt]

Definitely not 2m. The radiator and radials are wide spaced helically wound so it must be at least as low as 6m and depending on how tight and how many turns are at the ends it could very well be for CB or 10m.

I am with CK, its not a 2 meter antenna but more likely an 11 meter one. It might load up on 10. Barrow an analyser and test it out.

that is a cb antenna made by channel master in the 1970's

Wow!! I said 6 meter antenna as soon as I seen it!!! it is an 11 meter antenna? Thats wild!!! Although Channel Master di make some odd or crazy antennas like that wild looking indoor antenna.

Channel Master produced an antenna of this type back in the 1970's(mid to late 1970's) and it was for the cb(11m) band. Of that I am 100 % sure. Of the name I cannot recall exactly, but it may have been the "Quarter Master"...
