This can be nothing but an end-fire antenna consisting of two elements.
It is similar to the K9AY, EWE, Flag, and Pennant antennas, which are really
nothing but the equivalent of two short verticals phased with end-fire
phasing. The horizontal spatial conductor length serves as a phasing and
transmission line connecting the vertical conductor lengths that serve as
antennas.

Brian Collins gives another description on how a terminated loop antenna
works; one could consider the K9AY, EWE, Flag, and Pennant are variations
of what Brian describes in his 1974 paper.
