[TowerTalk] antenna ID request

I found an antenna on a drive in the country yesterday, I took a picture 
of the installation, but because of the bad light it didn't turn out 
very good. Basically here is a description, a center pole approx 40 feet 
tall with insulators at the top, with wires running up along the pole, 
then out to at  least 6 sloping radials in a circle around the pole.
The antenna system appears to be fed from the bottom of the vertical 
wires around the pole, that is to say each of the at least 6 elements 
has it's own vertical wire running up the pole, to the top insulators 
then down to a termination insulator half way down at an approx 45 
degree angle, then an additional wire after the insulator attached to 
another shorter post (about 10 feet high) where it is attached. Does 
this make sense to anyone here? If not, let me know and I will post my 
not do good picture via a link.
Thanks and 73 Ryan
