Those are the same insulators I have seen on the base of a Hy-Tower vertical.  So could be a Hy-Gain.

Could be a homebrew, but that coaxial balun housing looks commercial.

Hi folks, I am trying to ID a antenna, below is a couple of photos of a
tri-band antenna.  

It is a three element beam for 20-10 meters on element that wasn't taken
apart before I got it is 12 ft. 

in length which I believe to be the director, no coils.  The other two
elements have 4 coils , two on each side.  

The coils are blue in color with exposed windings.  It has a large balun
which was wound out of coax and put inside a metal shield, shown in photo 2.
I am looking for a pdf file with info on the antenna.  Thanks for any help
you can give.

 

Photos are at: http://webpages.charter.net/ronald/Antenna.htm
