Hi Mike,

I'm not sure I follow your description but you mention spreaders in a triangle.  Are you meaning, rather than a tubular spreader arm, you've got some that are made of three individual Fiberglas pieces that are webbed together to form a single spreader.

The first thing that came to mind is the architecture of the spreaders used in the Manitoba Gem Quad.  Here's a pretty good look at some product literature: https://www.ebay.com/itm/GEM-QUAD-FIBERGLASS-ANTENNA-SPECIFICATIONS-ONLY-RADIO-TRADER-IRELAND/322243556149?hash=item4b07367335:g:iqMAAOSw-kdXwyGJ

I ran across an antenna called the Diamond Quad -- no relation to the
Diamond antennas around today. The fiberglass pieces come in a tube
over 100" long, some are single spreaders, some are three spreaders in
a triangle to make them more rigid. While it has never been installed,
the fiberglass is splintering. I have not located the boom yet. Anyone
know anything about this antenna? --Mike, WV2ZOW
