4-element tribander (?) yagi, which didn't come with a boom - only the
four elements. It looks old enough that one of the boom-to-element
insulators broke in half when I tried lifting the entire assembled element.

taking it apart for some spare aluminum pieces and then the rest of it
for the landfill. It doesn't look like any similar antenna construction
I've ever seen from Hy-Gain, Mosley, Cush Craft, or others that I'm
familiar with.
