I believe you have an infamous Swan Hornet "Eggbeater" tribander
(affectionately named so due to the element-end wire loops, and its likeness
to an eggbeater.) A bit before my time (licensed 1972.) In 1973, at my high
school, we had one of "these" eggbeater beams-what a piece of work! In the
"shack" (electronics room,) we ran a SWAN 3-drifty xcvr (350). The school
district got an "educational discount" from SWAN. BTW-my April 1973 QST
Gotham ad shows quads, monobanders, and verticals. I agree with Brad; I
don't think Gotham made triband beams, just quads. Sorry, no other info. Try
some "older" high schools :)
