Hi Bill,
I am no expert but from the picture you have yourself
a FM broadcast antenna. I think these antennas are
fed with rigid hardline because of the high power used
20KW or so and the connection looks like a flange
mount. These antennas usually come in multiple
element arrays using some sort of phasing harness. It
probably came off a tower that was being moved or
dismantled. Try your local FM station engineer, he
might be able to point you in the correct direction
for a fitting.
