[TowerTalk] Name this Antenna

[Jeff Griffin]

 Years ago I've worked HF from the Nashua center many times. Unfortunally I 
don't remember the name or calls of the hams I met there. All the stations 
at the centers are identical. And yes I remember the tri bander mounted on 
top at ZBW (Nashua) that was unique.....
