Thought of one more thing. Are you sure the tips of the elements are 3/8”? Or
are they 7/16”? HyGain has long used 7/16” for element tips combined with
their swaging methods. Just a thought.

Back in the 1960s HyGain made the original “Long John” yagis for 20, 15 and 10.
I only ever worked on a couple of them and can’t remember if they had two
driven elements or not. But the slotted aluminum with the custom shaped clamp
and single bolt to lock the element pieces together is classic HyGain. And
they did have a different element mount style than the typical HyGain
clamshell. Could be one of those. They were mucho expensive compared to the
normal stuff so pretty rare. Pretty doubtful that MFJ got any documentation
for that line of antennas.
