Hey guys,
I was recently given an antenna and am not sure what it is.  Clues:

1. It is a single element "V" dipole.
2.  It has 2 traps on each side of the dipole.
3.  It has a Create Balun at the feed point (may or may not be OEM equipment 
for the antenna).
4.  It has a butterfly looking "capacitor maybe about 18 inches on each wing" 
on each side of the dipole.
5.  Not sure, but probably works on 10, 15, and 20.
6  May work on 40?

Anybody know what this antenna is?  Any help would be appreciated as I have 
no manual for it.

Thanks and 73,
Mike, WA5JWU
