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.

Hello Gents,
Can anyone please help in identifying this antenna?I'm trying to learn the make 
and model. I've looked allot online but haven't been able to find it.I'd like 
to find some documentation for it.It calculates out to be a 15 meter, I 
believe- monobander, (no traps).Boom length is approx 393"Two driven elements 
approx 265.5" longThe distance between the driven elements is approx 53"All 
elements are 5/8" swaged down to 3/8"
